Sulzer is a leading engineering company with a proud heritage of innovation. Join our global team to grow your expertise and develop innovative solutions that enable a prosperous and more sustainable society.

About the role

Sulzer Wexford is looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer — but this isn’t your typical design‑only role. This is a project‑driven product development position, giving you responsibility from concept through to prototype, testing, and successful product introduction.

You’ll help lead the next generation of submersible pumps and agitators, supporting our mission to deliver high‑performance, high‑reliability solutions for water recycling and sustainable operations worldwide.

About Sulzer Wexford
With over 250+ employees on site, Sulzer Wexford is a key engineering and manufacturing hub within Sulzer’s global network. The team’s work underpins critical water recycling, sustainability, and energy‑efficiency solutions used around the world.

What you’ll be doing

Lead end‑to‑end product development projects using best‑practice project management methods.
Design and develop new products, primarily submersible pumps and agitators — translating requirements into high‑performance, high‑reliability solutions.
Oversee the build, test, and validation of prototypes, including detailed reporting, interpretation, and analysis of results.
Support smooth introduction of new products into manufacturing and global markets.
Act as the point of contact, collaborating with customers, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure engineering, quality, and commercial alignment.

This is not a CAD‑heavy role. While you’ll understand the design process, your primary focus will be project leadership, coordination, and driving products from concept to launch.

Who will succeed here?

A mechanically minded engineer who enjoys leading projects, not just producing drawings
Someone able to translate requirements into practical, innovative product solutions
A hands‑on problem solver with experience in testing, analysis, and validation
A confident communicator comfortable working with diverse stakeholders
Someone excited by the opportunity to influence the next generation of engineered products

What we offer you

A competitive base salary
Flex time with core hours of 09:30–14:30
26 days annual leave
A defined pension contribution
Free on‑site parking with reduced‑rate EV charging
Subsidised on‑site canteen
Maternity/paternity leave top‑up
Access to Sulzer Learning Pathways for continuous professional development
Genuine opportunities for international mobility and long‑term progression
