Introduction
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our SVS GBPS team (Griding, Bulk, Pyro and Smelting) with focus on Bulk. In this role, you will lead the development of engineering solutions for customer projects, equipment upgrades, modifications, retrofits, and technical problem‑solving across our installed base. This position focuses on project execution, technical delivery, engineering calculations, component selection, and close collaboration with global engineering teams and designers. Hands‑on experience with assembly, installation, or commissioning of heavy equipment will be considered a strong differential.
This position reports to the South America Manager, GBPS Project Engineering and is based on‑site in Sorocaba, Brazil (100% presencial / on‑site role). Approximately 10% travel is required annually. After a minimum of six months in the role, a remote work arrangement of one day per week may be considered.
Team, You Belong To

Our mission is to deliver reliable and cost‑efficient engineering solutions for a wide range of Bulk Material Handling equipment, including but not limited to: Rotary Car Dumpers; Positioners; Mover Cars; Stackers and Reclaimers; Apron Feeders; Belt Feeders; Dribble Belt and Rotary Breakers. The team culture emphasizes collaboration, versatility, problem‑solving, and continuous learning, leveraging expertise from multiple global regions.
What You’ll Do
Lead the mechanical engineering scope for Bulk Material Handling (BMH) projects, covering new designs, upgrades, modifications, and retrofit solutions.
Coordinate multiple engineering tasks in parallel, ensuring technical quality, on‑time delivery, and alignment with project requirements.
Develop and review 3D models, 2D detail drawings, assembly drawings, BOMs, technical specifications, manuals/technical instructions and quality inspections in collaboration with designers and other stakeholders.
Perform or validate mechanical and basic structural calculations, including shafts, bearings, drives, pulleys, and rotating components.
Select mechanical components such as drives, gearboxes, couplings, bearings, rollers, and other power‑transmission elements according to project needs.
Collaborate with the Field Service Team to provide engineering support during installation, troubleshooting, and equipment breakdowns, helping minimize customer downtime.
Participate in site assessments and incorporate field constraints into engineering solutions (optional travel as required).
Work closely with global engineering teams to drive standardization, share best practices, and ensure consistent technical execution across regions.
Support the evaluation and implementation of equipment upgrades and life‑extension strategies across the installed base.
Ensure all technical documentation adheres to internal procedures, industry standards, and compliance requirements.
Who You Are
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field.
Preferably over 10 years of experience in mechanical engineering, including exposure to bulk material handling equipment in the mining industry.
Proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD, Inventor, Vault, etc.) and strong capability in mechanical systems design.
Solid understanding of machine design principles, basic structural analysis, material selection, and manufacturing processes.
Proven experience diagnosing and resolving equipment breakdowns under time constraints.
Familiarity with the BMH equipment listed in the Team You Belong To section.
Experience working in global, multicultural engineering environments with the ability to collaborate across regions and disciplines.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a proactive and hands‑on approach to overcoming complex engineering challenges.
Effective communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
