Mechanical Project Engineer – Machine Building
West Flanders, Belgium
For one of our clients, a well-established company specialized in custom machine building, we are looking for a Mechanical Project Engineer to strengthen their engineering team. The role sits at the intersection of mechanical design, project coordination, and industrial execution.
The role
You will be responsible for mechanical projects from concept to delivery, working closely with internal teams and external partners. Each project is tailor-made, meaning technical depth, variation, and close involvement with the workshop are key aspects of the role.
Your responsibilities include:
* Translating customer requirements into mechanical concepts and detailed designs
* Coordinating mechanical engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle
* Acting as the technical interface between engineering, production, assembly, and suppliers
* Monitoring planning, budget, and technical risks during execution
* Managing engineering changes and ensuring feasibility on the shop floor
* Supporting testing, commissioning, and final technical handover
Your background
You have a solid foundation in mechanical engineering and feel comfortable in a project-driven, industrial environment where standard solutions are rare.
Typically, you bring:
* A degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
* Experience within machine building, special machinery, or industrial equipment
* Strong mechanical insight combined with a pragmatic, hands-on mindset
* The ability to keep overview while maintaining attention to technical detail
* Clear communication skills and a collaborative way of working
You are fluent in English; knowledge of Dutch is a strong advantage in the local context.
The environment
Our client offers a technically rich engineering role within a stable and growing machine building company. The culture is professional yet informal, with short decision lines and a strong focus on engineering quality and practical execution.
What's on offer
* Challenging, custom-built machinery projects with real technical responsibility
* A competitive and well-balanced salary package of up to €6000
* Additional benefits such as flexible working hours and mobility options
* Long-term development opportunities within an engineering-driven organization
