Senior Mechanical Engineer

Making a difference in the world by applying your knowledge and skills. That is what you do at Haskoning. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you apply your acquired knowledge in projects that have a positive impact on our society. And that while getting plenty of room to develop yourself.

What will you do as a Senior Mechanical Engineer

As a Senior Specialist Mechanical Engineering, you will work on interesting challenges in the field of mechanical engineering. You give advice and you make and test designs of building-related installations, ensuring an integrated installation design that fully matches the ambitions of the client.

You will collaborate with colleagues in multidisciplinary teams, contributing your expertise to integrated projects that almost always require customized solutions. You look beyond the known and proven solutions, and in your projects, you may also manage one or more junior installation technicians.

Some examples of what you can do in a project:

• Identifying the scope and purpose of a design.
• Model single-sided diagrams of the mechanical installation and coordinate them with other disciplines for initial space reservations.
• Provide project documentation ensuring the quality of information flow required by contractors and regulatory authorities.
• Writing technical specifications and reports.
• Review contractor prequalifications and create summary evaluations for tender assessments.
• Assisting the Project Manager with preparing/assessing project costs and risk assessment.
• Providing input for large integrated tenders and writing quotations.

Beyond project-related activities, you will also contribute to optimizing our business processes and to safeguarding and sharing knowledge about your own field, both within your team and within our MEP Community.

Where you will work

At Haskoning, you will join an independent, employee-owned international consultancy that combines engineering, design, and consultancy services with software and technology. Our mission, "Enhancing Society Together," drives us to create a positive impact on the world.

We offer purpose-driven and challenging work in diverse international projects, leveraging our 140+ years of expertise. With over 6,800 employees in more than 25 countries, we work together to turn challenges into opportunities and make a real impact on society. We collaborate with leading clients in markets such as infrastructure, climate resilience, renewable energy, decarbonisation of industry, and sustainable mobility.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will become part of our Business Line Industry & Buildings. We are committed to working on projects that have a positive impact on our society—a society full of buildings and industry that are well integrated in their environment and in which people feel comfortable, as well as a society with industry that cares about sustainability and with forms of energy generation that are as sustainable as possible.

Together with thousands of colleagues worldwide, we support our clients with their challenges from the very first moment. By combining the skills and knowledge of our colleagues with the latest digital applications, we develop smart and innovative solutions that really help our clients. Our clients are in a wide range of markets such as fast-moving consumer goods, data centres, renewable energy, chemicals, real estate, government, education, and healthcare. There is no lack of variety, both inside and outside the Netherlands. We match your interests and our needs to decide which projects you will work on.

What you bring

You are a committed Engineer with an entrepreneurial slant, able to identify market developments, see opportunities, and have an eye for the customer. As a team player, you prefer to work in a multidisciplinary team. You have professional knowledge in the field of installations in buildings and are eager to contribute to the further expansion of installation knowledge within Haskoning. You ensure that the contractor can build exactly according to our model without revisions.

In addition, you have:

• A completed academic or applied sciences degree in mechanical engineering, building services, energy technology, or HIT-W.
• Minimum 10 years of relevant work experience.
• Knowledge and experience with integrated projects (Revit & BIM).
• Good communication and language skills in both Dutch and English.

Because we always want to improve our way of working, it is a plus if you are interested in digitization, innovative ideas, and are not afraid to use a new (software) program or new working method in your project.
