Design the Future of Sustainable Aquaculture
Would you like to develop innovative technology that is helping feed a growing global population sustainably?
At Gael Force Group, we’re at the forefront of aquaculture innovation, designing and manufacturing some of the industry’s most advanced equipment and systems. From automated feed systems and underwater camera technology to floating fish pens and large-scale marine infrastructure, our products are used throughout the global aquaculture sector.
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly skilled engineering team working on technology that is genuinely shaping the future of sustainable food production.
Why Join Us?
This is not a role where you’ll spend years making minor changes to existing products.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll take ownership of designs from initial concept through to prototype development, testing, manufacture and deployment. You’ll have the opportunity to get hands-on with first-of-type builds, visit customer sites, and see your ideas become real-world engineering solutions.
The aquaculture industry is evolving rapidly. Unlike many heavily regulated sectors, engineers have the freedom to innovate, challenge conventional thinking and develop novel solutions to complex marine engineering challenges.
Our projects are diverse and technically stimulating. One day you may be designing large offshore steel structures; the next, refining precision-machined components or developing systems that integrate mechanical, electrical and software technologies.
The Role
Working within our multi-disciplinary Product Development team, you’ll contribute to the design, development and improvement of a wide range of products and systems operating within challenging marine environments.
You will collaborate closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic and Software Engineers to develop innovative solutions that deliver real value to our customers.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop new products and enhancements to existing product lines.
