The role is a Head Office position providing mechanical engineering authority from early-stage design and method review through to pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover. The individual will act as the primary technical reference for all mechanical scopes across the project portfolio, with particular emphasis on wind turbine installation engineering, major component handling, drivetrain and nacelle systems, solar mounting and tracker mechanical works, and BESS thermal and mechanical integration.

Effective coordination with civil, structural, electrical and controls disciplines is a core requirement of the role.

Mechanical Design Authority & Technical Governance

• Act as mechanical design authority for all mechanical scopes across the wind, solar PV and BESS project portfolio, including turbine installation, major component handling, balance-of-plant mechanical systems, solar mounting structures, tracking systems and BESS enclosure and thermal systems.
• Define, maintain and enforce Owner mechanical design standards, installation philosophies, acceptance criteria and quality benchmarks for all mechanical works.
• Review, challenge and approve EPC contractor and OEM mechanical designs, engineering drawings, installation procedures, technical specifications and material submittals.
• Evaluate OEM installation manuals, technical requirements and warranty provisions to ensure construction methodology compliance across all mechanical scopes.
• Identify constructability constraints and optimisation opportunities during design and pre-construction review phases, proposing practical and cost-effective engineering solutions.
• Maintain a structured technical submittal register, RFI log and NCR tracker across all active mechanical scopes and projects.

Wind Turbine Installation Engineering

• Lead technical review and approval of wind turbine erection methodologies covering tower section assembly, nacelle lift and installation, hub assembly, blade handling and full rotor installation sequences.
• Review and approve lift plans, crane selection justifications, rigging arrangements, lifting spreader beam calculations and dynamic load assessments for all major WTG component lifts.
• Evaluate turbine installation method statements for compliance with OEM requirements, site‑specific conditions, wind speed limitations, crane pad design and access route constraints.
• Review drivetrain and nacelle mechanical interface documentation: main shaft, gearbox, generator, yaw system, pitch system and auxiliary mechanical components.
• Assess mechanical installation tolerances, alignment procedures, bolt torque specifications and pre‑commissioning mechanical checks for all WTG systems.
• Coordinate with the turbine OEM on technical queries, installation deviations, non‑conformances and warranty‑critical mechanical requirements throughout erection and commissioning.
• Review and approve pre‑commissioning inspection records, mechanical completion certificates and readiness documentation for WTG handover to the commissioning team.

Solar PV Mechanical Systems – Mounting Structures & Trackers

• Lead technical review and approval of solar PV fixed‑tilt and single‑axis tracker (SAT) mechanical installation methodologies, including structural assembly sequences, module installation, drive unit installation and torque tube alignment.
• Review tracker OEM mechanical interface requirements: drive mechanism, motor mounting, control linkages, stow position settings and wind survival criteria.
• Evaluate solar mounting structure assembly procedures for structural tolerance compliance, bolt torque requirements, module clamp specifications and anti‑corrosion system requirements.
• Assess mechanical handling procedures for PV modules including transport, unloading, staging and installation methods to prevent damage and ensure warranty compliance.
