Fluid Mechanics Project Engineer (1 Year Contract)
Fluid Mechanics Project Engineer (1 Year Contract)
Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering.
What's the business all about?
Engineering CFD is a niche business specialising in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In this area, we have over 25 years’ experience, applying CFD to academic and industrial applications and working in both commercial software and consultancy organisations.
We undertake simulations across a range of applications focused on fire and smoke ventilation but also environmental and general ventilation as well as other specialist applications. We have developed streamlined processes for our modelling analysis to make it efficient and cost effective. The focus of this analysis is to understand potential problems and any engineering implications. The outcome is to provide practical recommendations to our clients.
What would you be doing?
You will be using your knowledge of fluid mechanics and engineering to provide practical insight based on CFD. Engineering CFD are a micro organisation, so this is an opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the business. However, the primary need is to undertake modelling projects.
Typical activities might include:
Coordinating projects with the idea of taking on more responsibility as you progress
Receiving industry leading technical training, alongside your projects, to understand methodologies
Helping complete airflow analysis and visualisation for clients
Developing geometrical 2D and 3D CAD models to support your analysis
Collecting and compiling project information from clients
Analysing results data in order to make project recommendations
Learning key elements, methods, compliance and software skills
Producing and developing white papers to reinforce the best practice adopted within the company
Contributing to regular team meetings and socials
Movement along the ‘Engineering CFD career pathway’.
This opportunity will become a permanent contract after successful completion of a probationary period.
What type of person are we looking for?
The ideal candidate will:
Be a graduate or post-graduate in any Engineering, Applied Maths or Physics discipline, but Mechanical Engineers and Physics Engineers are particularly encouraged to apply
Have basic CAD knowledge with interest to develop 2D and 3D model building skills
Be interested in the analysis of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer using computational modelling
Be highly motivated and keen to get stuck into projects
Be proficient in the use of MS Office programs, and able to embrace simple programming tasks
Be able to use a variety of script and GUI based software tools
Have good verbal and written communication skills
Have good initiative to work and learn independently
