Mechanical Engineer - Consultant

We’re looking for a creative, hands-on mechanical engineer with a commercial mindset to join our Energy & Process Technologies team. The transition to a more sustainable future depends on turning new ideas into practical technologies. Our EPT team develops products that help decarbonise industry, transform the way chemicals are made, and accelerate the adoption of modern energy-generation technologies. By combining deep scientific expertise in electrochemistry and power electronics with systems, chemical, and product engineering, we deliver complex, commercially viable solutions for our ambitious clients. As a mechanical engineer at TTP you’ll work on complex engineering challenges, using a solid grounding in first-principles engineering knowledge to identify and develop solutions. This will involve a combination of creative idea-generation, analysis, modelling, design and problem solving, as well as hands-on experimental work to take your ideas from the lab to pilot scale testing. As a consultant, you’ll also use this knowledge to explore new business opportunities for the team and will have the opportunity to build your project leadership capability. With superb facilities, bright and collaborative colleagues and the freedom to innovate, your future at TTP is what you make it. We value ambition, leadership and technical excellence and we provide a fantastic environment to develop your career. We’re looking for a commercially minded mechanical engineer who thrives in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment.
