Ready to take on a unique project? Caliber Design is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to lead and deliver a completely automated production line within the FMCG Industry. The project is based in Manukau, and you will be employed on a fixed term basis for the duration of the project (around 12 months).

ABOUT US

Caliber Design is a mechanical design and engineering consultancy with a strong background in design and execution. While this project is more focused on equipment installation and project management, you will join a clear, capable, and trusted team.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the project for the FMCG production line installation, from equipment arrival and installation to commissioning and final handover.
  • Prepare, monitor, and manage the project budget, ensuring cost control.
  • Develop and manage the project timeline, ensuring milestones are met.
  • Identify and manage project risks, ensuring project governance and compliance.
  • Regularly present and report project progress, budget status, and risks to senior management.
  • Coordinate with suppliers, equipment vendors, installation teams, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery.
  • If required, leverage your machine design experience to assist in minor design optimizations (though this is not a primary focus).

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Essential Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (or equivalent qualification) - ideal
  • Proven experience managing engineering/installation projects with a strong focus on budget and timeline management.
  • Solid understanding of risk management and project governance principles, with the ability to identify and mitigate risks.
  • Strong communication skills, with the confidence to regularly report to senior management.
  • Ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders (suppliers, installation teams, internal management, etc.).
  • Experienced with large sites / production facilities, including associated health & safety and permit issuance requirements.

Desirable (but not essential)

  • Background or experience in mechanical design or machine systems design.
  • Familiarity with automated equipment, FMCG, or manufacturing equipment.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • A clear and defined project
    – you will oversee the installation and commissioning of this production line from start to finish.
  • Generous Overtime – Time and a half for every hour worked over 40 each week
  • Learning & Development – A structured L&D program tailored to experienced engineers, focused on real-world skills, curiosity, and growth
  • Supportive Culture – Down-to-earth people, regular social and technical catchups, and a national network of engineers who have "been there, done that"

At Caliber Design, we value the dedication and expertise of our team, and we are excited to bring on a Project Engineer who shares our commitment to delivering outstanding results. This is a fantastic opportunity to lead an exciting project in a supportive environment, while having the chance to further develop your project management and engineering skills.
