WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)
• 5+ years’ experience in mechanical engineering roles, ideally within theme parks, entertainment, heavy machinery, or industrial environments
• Strong hands-on knowledge of mechanical systems, diagnostics, and troubleshooting
• Deep understanding of safety standards, compliance, and risk management
• Confident communicator and team player with a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
• Experience managing or mentoring others is a strong advantage

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in maintaining and enhancing the performance, safety, and reliability of our world-class rides and attractions. You’ll also provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate across departments to solve complex engineering challenges.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Leading Mechanical Inspections & Maintenance: Oversee inspections of ride tracks, vehicles, motors, and hydraulics to detect wear, fatigue, or misalignment.
• Ride System Analysis: Evaluate track integrity, vehicle operation, wheel assemblies, suspension systems, and dynamic performance.
• Safety System Engineering: Validate and enhance safety systems—including restraints, barriers, and emergency shutoffs—ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Sensor Calibration & Testing: Ensure sensors (e.g., proximity, load, thermal) are accurate and functioning reliably.
• Motor, Brake & Control System Oversight: Inspect and troubleshoot mechanical and electromechanical systems under varying load conditions.
• Annual Maintenance Leadership: Lead overhauls and refurbishments as part of our comprehensive annual maintenance program.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with design, operations, and safety teams to identify improvements and implement engineering solutions.
• Mentorship: Support and guide junior engineers and technicians, sharing best practices and technical knowledge.
