Job Description
The position of Mechanical Designer / Sub-Engineer (Switchgear Industry) at Bilal Switchgear Engineering (Pvt.) Ltd. is a dynamic and technically challenging role aimed at professionals with a passion for precision design, mechanical integration, and collaborative engineering. The ideal candidate will play a vital role in designing and developing switchgear enclosures and components, ensuring that every product meets both client needs and global industry standards.
As a Mechanical Designer or Sub-Engineer, you will be responsible for preparing design layouts, general arrangement (G.A.) drawings, fabrication details, and 3D modeling using advanced CAD tools. The focus of your work will be on optimizing the mechanical aspects of switchgear systems to support both functional performance and ease of manufacturing. You will collaborate closely with electrical engineers to ensure that designs meet the necessary clearances, integration needs, and protection parameters for effective power distribution systems.
A significant part of your responsibilities includes developing fabrication drawings that production teams can use to build enclosures with accuracy and structural strength. Your knowledge of materials, sheet metal design, tolerances, and mechanical fasteners will be critical in ensuring that the switchgear designs are robust and cost-effective.
Another key aspect of the role is to ensure compliance with international standards such as IEC and IEEE, as well as safety protocols related to electrical installations. Your job will include reviewing specifications, interpreting customer requirements, and integrating feedback into design improvements.
You will also be expected to work with production teams during the assembly and testing phase, providing technical guidance where needed. Any design deviations or fabrication challenges will be analyzed, and it will be your responsibility to resolve them promptly, maintaining the quality and delivery timeline of the project.
The role also involves keeping technical documentation updated. As-built drawings, design revisions, part lists, and manufacturing notes need to be maintained for every project. Your contributions will directly impact not just the mechanical reliability of switchgear products but also their manufacturability and operational safety.
Daily work will include preparing technical drawings, creating bill of materials (BoM), updating design repositories, participating in cross-functional design reviews, and ensuring that all design outputs align with the company’s engineering and quality processes.
You will be encouraged to bring innovation to the table by proposing design improvements, cost reductions, or alternative materials without compromising quality or safety. Your ability to analyze design feedback and proactively optimize mechanical systems will be highly valued.
The working environment is highly collaborative, and your role will interface with various departments, including procurement, electrical design, project management, and quality assurance. Good communication and problem-solving skills will be essential for success.
In addition to regular design work, you will also assist in technical training, troubleshooting design-related issues, and participating in vendor evaluations for mechanical components or fabrication partners.
Ultimately, your role as a Mechanical Designer / Sub-Engineer at Bilal Switchgear Engineering (Pvt.) Ltd. will be central to the production of reliable, high-performance switchgear systems that are critical to Pakistan’s growing energy and industrial infrastructure.
