This position is based in Opfikon, Zurich, with onsite work required at least three days per week. As Lead Mechanical Engineer, you will drive the development and execution of mechanical specifications and design philosophies for global projects, including the next DAC plant planned for Alberta, Canada.

Tasks

  • Lead the development of fit-for-purpose mechanical specifications, design philosophies, and basis of design for execution globally.
  • Ensure owner requirements are clearly defined, documented, and communicated to contractors; validate design assumptions against operability, safety, and regulatory expectations.
  • Define pressure equipment compliance pathways suitable for local and regional execution, including registration and lifecycle documentation expectations.
  • Incorporate Alberta (or similar) climate conditions into mechanical design and execution planning, including freeze protection, winterization, insulation/heat tracing philosophy, drainage/low-point management, and cold start/commissioning constraints.
  • Ensure design is constructable and operable through winter conditions, considering temporary works, winter work sequencing, and interface constraints with cold-weather civil activities.
  • Review and approve contractor submissions, enforce owner requirements, provide technical clarifications, and ensure adherence to schedule, quality, safety, and operability.
  • Set clear expectations for execution methods, field quality controls, and turnover documentation needed for safe operation and maintenance.
  • Develop innovative engineering solutions to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality or safety, focusing on design-to-construct decisions appropriate for local boundary conditions.
  • Assure strong integration with process, civil, electrical, and O&M disciplines to achieve seamless and optimized designs; proactively manage cross-discipline interfaces.
  • Support alignment of mechanical scope assumptions with local permitting and application needs for energy/industrial facilities and infrastructure interfaces.
  • Maintain thorough records of technical decisions, design bases, vendor information, and lessons learned for future operational use, including pressure equipment records and lifecycle documentation expectations.

Requirements

  • Hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Bring at least 10 years of experience in process plants in cold weather climates as a mechanical static equipment engineer, with proven expertise in API and ASME equipment such as heat exchangers, columns, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and packaged auxiliary equipment.
  • Demonstrated, hands-on experience with cold-weather industrial plant design and execution, including winterization, freeze protection, and constructability planning for winter conditions (e.g., Canada, Nordics, Northern US).
  • Hands-on involvement in at least one full-cycle project in the chemical, petrochemical, or renewables industry, covering all phases from FEED and detailed design to construction, commissioning, and start-up, preferably in cold-weather or remote/seasonally constrained execution environments.
  • Precise, adaptable, and reliable work style with a proactive and solution-oriented approach.
  • Comfortable driving decisions and owning them in the office and under field constraints, including winter productivity and schedule risk.
  • Confident in presenting to executive audiences and EPC contractors, translating technical content into clear, actionable information.
  • Fluent in English and ready to travel up to 60% of your time depending on project phase, including extended site presence in Alberta, Canada.

Benefits

  • Enjoy 25 paid vacation days every year, plus public holidays.
  • Hybrid work setup and up to 4 weeks of remote work annually within any EU country.
  • Fair base pay paired with an equity package.
  • Inclusive parental leave.
  • Dedicated budget for professional growth.
  • Referral rewards for successful team referrals.
