Lead Mechanical Engineer

De positie YER Tech Solutions (TS) is looking for an entrepreneurial Lead Mechanical Engineer who wants to be at the forefront of something new. You will play a pivotal role in shaping our engineering capabilities, by writing the SoW based on the customer intakes you will do, helping win projects, defining how we deliver them, and leading their successful execution.
You won't inherit a mature organisation with fixed processes and legacy structures. Instead, you'll help create the foundation of a growing engineering business with ambitious plans in the Netherlands and beyond.
If you've ever wanted to combine engineering leadership, customer interaction, commercial influence and the excitement of building something from scratch, this is your opportunity.
Your role
As Lead Mechanical Engineer, you will bridge engineering, sales and delivery.
You will help define project scope, estimate effort and costs, support customer discussions and ultimately take responsibility for successful execution.
This means you will be involved before a project starts, while it is being delivered, and during the evaluation afterwards.
Your responsibilities
Participate in customer and sales discussions
Translate customer challenges into measurable project outcomes
Create project scopes, work breakdowns and effort estimations
Lead engineering projects from concept through implementation
Take technical ownership of project delivery
Coach and guide engineers involved in projects
Contribute to building engineering methodologies and best practices
Help shape the future direction of the Engineering focus areas
Build relationships with customers, suppliers and engineering partners
