Purpose of role:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Hydraulic Design Engineer to join our dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing hydraulic systems for various projects. This role requires a strong understanding of hydraulic principles, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.

* Design and develop hydraulic systems and components for various applications.

* Perform hydraulic calculations and simulations to ensure system performance and reliability.

* Design of systems for simple HPUs, pipework installations, minor modifications to existing systems, etc

* Provide support for compiling sales tenders; bills of materials, component pricing, time estimating, etc

* Produce CAD models of assemblies such as manifolds, pipework installations, and HPUs

* Create detailed engineering drawings, schematics, and specifications either designed personally or sketched out by others.

* Check system designs, schematics, manifolds designs, and calculations produced by others prior to manufacture or release to customers

* Collaborate with the senior hydraulic project solutions manager, electrical & controls project solutions manager and project managers to integrate hydraulic systems into overall project designs.
