ENG Bauen | Driving Engineering and Construction Integration Across Portugal’s Next-Generation Projects

Portugal’s industrial transformation is gathering pace, fuelled by significant investment in Energy Transition, Life Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing, and Data Centres.

ENG Bauen sits at the centre of this evolution, aligning Owner and EPC teams through frameworks that guarantee execution readiness, technical excellence, and project assurance.

With over a decade of European project experience and an established presence in Lisbon, ENG Bauen has developed a compliant, scalable workforce model that supports the full lifecycle from FEED and detailed design through to construction and commissioning.

We are now seeking a Mechanical Project Manager to oversee the coordination and delivery of mechanical engineering and construction scopes across multiple major projects. This role is pivotal to bridging design with execution, ensuring quality, constructability, and system readiness from the earliest phases of development.

Key Areas of Impact

• Project Leadership: Manage end-to-end mechanical scope across engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation, and completion phases.
• Design Integration: Lead constructability and design reviews to ensure mechanical packages are fully optimised for buildability, maintainability, and operability.
• Interface Management: Oversee cross-discipline integration between mechanical, electrical, process, and civil teams to maintain scope clarity and technical alignment.
• Technical Assurance: Ensure compliance with design codes, specifications, and QA/QC standards across all mechanical systems and installations.
• Progress & Performance Oversight: Track deliverables, schedules, and resources to maintain critical path visibility and performance control.
• Change & Risk Management: Identify potential design or field deviations early, managing change control and technical risk mitigation.
• Construction & Commissioning Support: Interface with site teams to ensure mechanical completion and system handover milestones are achieved safely and on schedule.

Preferred Background

• Proven track record delivering greenfield mechanical projects within Data Centre, Pharmaceutical, Hydrogen, or Advanced Manufacturing environments.
• Experience working across FEED, EPC, and start-up phases, ideally for both Owner and EPC organisations.
• Strong background in mechanical systems, pressure equipment, piping, HVAC, or clean-room environments.
• Ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and manage subcontractor performance across complex interfaces.
• Deep understanding of international codes, modular construction practices, and system handover processes.
• Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering; fluent English essential, Portuguese advantageous.

ENG Bauen’s Portugal Framework connects international capability with local expertise — providing the platform, governance, and scalability required for world-class industrial project delivery.
