Contract Engineer

Contract Engineering Engineer Talents First is recruiting on behalf of its client, a major international industrial group expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia through a strategic industrial partnership. We are seeking an experienced Contract Engineering Engineer to support the engineering, configuration and technical execution of customer-specific orders within the elevator industry. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing accurate Bills of Materials (BOM), preparing non-standard engineering designs and providing technical solutions to meet specific customer requirements. Working closely with product development, manufacturing, sales and field engineering teams, the position plays an important role in ensuring the technical accuracy, quality and timely execution of customer orders. This opportunity offers exposure to international engineering operations, manufacturing environments and cross-functional technical projects. Key Responsibilities • Order Engineering & Configuration: Review customer orders and technical specifications, develop accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) and configure product solutions in accordance with established engineering standards and design rules. • Non-Standard Engineering Design: Develop customised engineering solutions, manufacturing drawings and electrical wiring diagrams to address specific customer requirements outside standard product configurations. • Mechanical & Electrical Integration: Coordinate mechanical and electrical interface requirements, ensuring technical compatibility and effective implementation of customer-specific designs. • Technical & Pre-Sales Support: Provide engineering support during pre-sales and order execution, including technical clarification, solution feasibility and assistance with product testing and certification matters. • Manufacturing & Field Support: Respond to technical enquiries from manufacturing teams, suppliers and field engineers, providing troubleshooting assistance and installation support when required. • Engineering Change Management: Implement Engineering Change Orders (ECO) and Manufacturing Change Orders (MCO), updating technical documentation, configuration rules and design tools while monitoring implementation. • Quality & Continuous Improvement: Conduct root cause analysis of design failures, implement corrective actions and identify opportunities to improve product reliability, standardisation and order automation. • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product development, regional field engineering, manufacturing teams and external suppliers to deliver technically compliant and efficient customer solutions. Candidate Profile / Requirements • Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering. • Minimum 3 years of professional experience in the elevator industry, preferably involving engineering design, product configuration, technical support or order engineering. • Proficiency in engineering design software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or EPLAN. • Experience preparing or interpreting engineering drawings, technical specifications and Bills of Materials (BOM). • Good understanding of mechanical and electrical systems, with practical knowledge of manufacturing processes or technical troubleshooting. • Ability to analyse customer-specific technical requirements and develop feasible engineering solutions. • Familiarity with engineering change management, technical documentation and continuous improvement processes would be beneficial. • Strong communication, coordination and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing and field operations. • Previous experience within a multinational or international engineering environment would be an advantage. • Fluent English is required; Arabic language proficiency is strongly preferred. • Willingness to travel internationally to manufacturing facilities and visit project sites within Saudi Arabia when required.
