Mechanical Design Engineer

Job description

Butec is recruiting a Mechanical Design Engineer in UAE for a role based in Abu Dhabi. In general occupational terms, the role turns functional needs into mechanical design concepts and clear technical information. Typical work considers how components fit together, how they operate and whether a proposed arrangement meets its intended purpose. Clear explanations of those decisions help communicate the reasoning behind a proposed solution and support technical discussion. Relevant UAE experience is a stated preference, with an advertised range of 3–7 years. The employer also favours backgrounds in onshore Oil & Gas, Energy or EPC construction. Employers prefer these experience areas, not confirmation of a particular project or assignment. Alongside experience, availability is a stated consideration.

Employers prefer immediate joiners holding a visa cancellation paper or currently on a visit visa. Candidates serving up to 15 days’ notice may also apply. Specific duties remain subject to confirmation, and the advertisement does not set out academic qualifications. Suggested skills identify capabilities useful in mechanical design and should not be read as additional selection requirements.

The responsibilities below therefore describe broad occupational context rather than a confirmed employer duty list.

Prepare design information that communicates the intended arrangement and operation of mechanical components.

Evaluate design options by considering how mechanical components would work together in the proposed arrangement.

Clarify mechanical design intent through technical discussions and concise explanations of the proposed approach.
