Mechanical Engineering Manager, Industrial Refrigeration

What You Will Do

As the Mechanical Engineering Manager for Industrial Refrigeration in Denmark, you will lead a skilled team of engineers, primarily based in Hornslet, Denmark.

Your team will be responsible for reviewing and finalizing the mechanical design of turnkey refrigeration systems for projects handed over by the pre-sales engineering team, ensuring they’re free of design defects and compliant with regulations.

Your team’s engineering scope will include:

• Calculations (thermodynamics, valve and automation sizing, equipment sizing, etc.),
• Documents (IOMs, quality assurance, and regulation compliance),
• Drawing (P&ID, 2D, 3D, Isometric, etc.),
• Specifications and BOMs,
• Control philosophy narrative, in collaboration with the electrical and controls engineering team.

You will work closely with the execution team to ensure successful project delivery.

This is a pivotal leadership role where you will drive technical excellence, team development, and operational efficiency, contributing directly to the success of our industrial refrigeration and heat pump business.
