Mechanical Engineer

We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer who wants to be part of a team that builds projects with real impact. You’ll join a leading engineering company in Bucharest, part of an international group involved in major infrastructure and industrial developments across Europe. With strong expertise in water treatment, civil works, hydraulics, energy, and automation, you’ll find a place where your work truly matters and where collaboration, innovation, and modern digital tools shape every project.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for overseeing the installation, commissioning, and operational performance of mechanical equipment within municipal water treatment and wastewater treatment plants. Acting as a key technical interface between engineering, construction, and commissioning teams, you will help ensure that systems are installed according to design specifications, delivered on schedule, and operate safely and efficiently throughout the project lifecycle.

This is an on-site role, based in a modern office located just 5 minutes from Pipera metro station, with regular presence on project sites as required.
