About the job

Our Engineering & Supply team in Søborg is growing, and we are looking for a Project Engineer to join our project organization working with evaporation and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems.

In this role, you will be responsible for delivering mechanical engineering tasks for medium- to high-complexity projects and for contributing to the development of our mechanical engineering discipline. You will work closely with project managers, specialists, and customers to ensure high-quality technical solutions.

Your key tasks will be to:

Mechanical design & documentation

• Engineer products and solutions for assigned projects.

• Prepare technical specifications and data sheets for mechanical equipment (pressure vessels, pumps, structural skids, piping, and process equipment).

• Review and/or perform strength calculations, primarily for pressure vessels (including FEA when applicable).

• Review vendor documentation and drawings.

Verification & compliance

• Secure engineering verification according to internal workflows.

• Ensure compliance with client requirements in a cost-efficient way.

Technical development & collaboration

• Contribute to improving existing technical solutions and developing new ones to strengthen our competitive position.

• Participate in project meetings and align project requirements with the project manager.
