Senior Mechanical Designer

Senior Mechanical Designer

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed mechanical designs for major iron ore processing and materials handling facilities.
• Produce and review mechanical design packages, layouts, drawings, and associated project documentation.
• Support the design of crushing, screening, conveying, stockyard, and fixed plant infrastructure.
• Develop practical design solutions that consider constructability, maintainability, safety, and operational requirements.
• Coordinate closely with mechanical engineers and other engineering/design disciplines.
• Participate in multidisciplinary 3D model and design reviews.
• Ensure designs comply with project specifications, standards, and client requirements.
• Resolve design interfaces and technical issues throughout project delivery.
• Liaise with engineering, project, and construction teams to ensure designs meet schedule and execution requirements.
• Provide design support during project execution and construction activities where required.

Requirements

• Approximately 10-15 years of Mechanical Design experience within mining and resources.
• A minimum of 2 continuous years working on a major iron ore project within the last 5 years.
• Demonstrated experience across iron ore processing, bulk materials handling, crushing, conveying, screening, stockyards, and/or fixed plant infrastructure.
• Strong experience producing detailed mechanical design packages and associated documentation.
• Proficiency with relevant 3D modelling and mechanical design software.
• Strong understanding of project delivery within major mining environments.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering and design teams.
• Strong communication, coordination, and stakeholder engagement skills.

Highly Desirable

• Previous experience working on major Pilbara iron ore developments.
• Experience across greenfield developments, brownfield expansions, sustaining capital projects, bulk materials handling systems, fixed plant processing facilities, and construction/site support.

What Will Set You Apart

For this position, candidates must have recent, hands-on involvement in significant iron ore project delivery, rather than broader mining design experience alone.

• Clearly demonstrate the major iron ore projects you have supported.
• Specify your mechanical design responsibilities.
• Indicate the duration and continuity of your involvement.
• Detail the processing, materials handling, or mine infrastructure facilities you designed.
• Highlight your involvement through design, engineering, and project execution phases.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Designer to contribute to a significant Western Australian iron ore development while working alongside an established multidisciplinary project team.

Please note: A minimum of 2 continuous years of major iron ore project experience within the last 5 years is a key requirement for this position.
