Systems & Sustainability Engineer

March 3, 2020 | Comments Off on Systems & Sustainability Engineer

Our globally respected client is looking to recruit a confident; well organised and motivated Systems & Sustainability Engineer to join the Systems Engineering Team.

The Systems Engineering team is responsible for the design definition, control, development and update of our client's extensive facility. The successful candidate will be tasked with identifying sources of environmental issues, notably energy consumption/rejection in the first instance, and to formulate and implement permanent engineering solutions.
This will involve the introduction of new systems and technologies and marrying them up with existing legacy technology so that they operate successfully. As well as the setting of requirements management, design definition, completion of design reviews, justification of design choices, recording of design details and production of operating manuals, maintenance instructions and spares holdings.

Since this role is largely aimed at the systems engineering and sustainability aspects of the site's facilities and infrastructure we are looking for a systems engineer who is familiar with miscellaneous engineering disciplines including: mechatronics; software and manufacturing. And although expertise in these areas is not expected, a working knowledge is deemed essential.

Systems & Sustainability Engineer - Main responsibilities:
* To become intimately familiar with a large, varied and complex facility, to understand the demands placed on the equipment from the intended (and unintended) use and combine that knowledge with an understanding of required changes such that well documented, justified and practical changes can be implemented.
* Keep safety at the fore of the design process.
* Generate design documentation, change definition and change justifications. Record knowledge gained in company 'wiki' systems.
* Understand the challenges of working with legacy equipment designed and built over half a century ago and combining it with cutting-edge technology.
* Interact with Project Management functions and participate fully in the generation of plans and monitoring of their progress.
* Perform analytical assessment of the site in terms of FMEA; reliability analysis; etc.
* Review telemetry and data gathered from operational equipment to understand performance.
* Propose and justify spares inventories for new and legacy equipment.
* Take engineering ownership of entire projects such as the refurbishment of significant plant assets.
* Author documentation such as Work Instructions, procedures, user manuals and suchlike.

Systems & Sustainability Engineer - Essential Skills and Qualifications:
* Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering; Electrical Engineering or closely related subject.
* Industrial experience (2+ years).
* Highly numerate and confident with analytical methods.
* Understanding of the fundamentals of industrial machinery.
* Understanding of environmental engineering including implementation.
* Appreciate the importance of continuous improvement.
* Ability to interpret and apply industry standards and legislative requirements.
* PC literate with the ability to learn to operate software beyond the basic word processing and spreadsheet packages.

The successful candidate must satisfy security clearance requirements - including the last 5 years continual UK residency.
