As a Mechanical Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of heat pump and boiler systems at our client's pharmaceutical facility in Waterford. This requires strong mechanical engineering expertise to guarantee these systems meet good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Leading and supporting commissioning, qualification, and verification (CQV) activities for heat pump and boiler systems, including design review, protocol generation, and installation verification
2. Reviewing and contributing to the design and layout of mechanical systems, working closely with project teams and contractors to ensure seamless integration
3. Overseeing vendor equipment delivery, installation, and field verification, as well as interfacing with building management systems (BMS/EMS) for control and monitoring setup
4. Supporting tie-in and integration planning with existing utility networks (steam, hot water, chilled water, etc.)
You will work closely with project teams, vendors, validation, and quality assurance to ensure mechanical systems are installed and qualified per cGMP and safety requirements.
To succeed in this role, you will need:
* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
* 3-5+ years of experience in mechanical systems implementation on pharmaceutical/biotech facilities
* Experience in CQV for utility systems (preferably boilers, heat pumps, HVAC, chilled/hot water)
* Strong understanding of GMPs, GEP, familiarity with ASME B31.3, PED, and relevant mechanical/utilities standards
* Previous experience with green or energy-efficient technology integration (e.g., heat pumps)
