Mechanical Integrity Engineer (Gas Turbine)

Location: Lincoln, United Kingdom; full-time, onsite role.

Company

hirify.global develops energy technologies, including gas turbines, steam turbines, generators and digital service solutions, supporting reliable and lower-emission power generation.

What you will do

• Perform static, transient, linear and non-linear thermal and thermomechanical finite element analysis of turbine blades, vanes, rotors and casings.
• Complete static and dynamic stress analysis and produce component life assessments covering high-cycle fatigue, low-cycle fatigue, thermo-mechanical fatigue and creep.
• Support new product and upgrade programmes through component design analysis, root cause analysis, weighted decision analysis and design of experiments.
• Define component and engine test requirements and calibrate structural models using engine test data and operational fleet experience.
• Produce technical reports, presentations and method documents while improving analysis tool chains, software validation and engineering methods.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with significant mechanical or structural design content, ideally in aerospace, automotive, power generation turbomachinery or materials science, or equivalent verified vocational experience.
• At least two years of professional experience in finite element stress analysis and component life calculation.
• Sound understanding of stress theory, material behaviour and high-temperature failure mechanisms under cyclic and steady operating conditions.
• Knowledge of component stress analysis, dynamic analysis and lifing methods, including fatigue and creep assessment.
• Experience with finite element analysis and pre- and post-processing software; Abaqus is ideal, while ANSYS, NX Simcenter, Nastran or RR SC03 are also relevant.
• Ability to validate and challenge analysis results using simplified one-dimensional methods and hand calculations.
• Effective communication skills for multidisciplinary collaboration.

Culture & Benefits

• Work within Turbine Engineering alongside Mechanical Design, Heat Transfer, Materials and testing functions.
• Develop specialist expertise in gas turbine structural integrity, high-temperature material behaviour and advanced engineering analysis methods.
• 26 days of holiday, increasing to 29 days with time served.
• Flexible benefits portal, including private medical cover and cycle-to-work schemes.
• Adjustable pension scheme, career development and continuous learning opportunities.
