28 mechanical engineering jobs in Belgium

Mechanical engineering jobs in Belgium involve designing, building and maintaining machines and mechanical systems. This page brings together engineering and technician roles across industry, agricultural machinery, defence and aerospace, and technical installations.

Mechanical engineer jobs make up most of the page: mechanical project engineers, design engineers and engineers working on homologation and compliance of machines. Mechanical technician jobs are more hands-on, for example in data centres or production sites. You will also find mechanical designers and draughtsmen, and international programmes such as V.I.E. assignments.

Employers usually ask for a degree in mechanical or electromechanical engineering, or a technical bachelor. CAD skills, knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, and the ability to read technical drawings are common requirements. Language needs vary: some offers are in French, others in Dutch or English, so use the language filter to see what fits.

Offers are spread across Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels rather than concentrated in one province. Mechanical engineers often move between design and operations: see design engineering jobs in Belgium for drawing office roles, or maintenance jobs in Belgium for roles on installations in operation.

Starting out? Junior mechanical engineer, design engineer or technician titles are common entry points, and international programmes can be a first step abroad. Experienced engineers can grow towards project engineer, lead engineer or technical manager roles. Read each offer to see whether the work is mainly design, testing, production support or maintenance, because the daily tasks differ a lot from one employer to another.

Mechanical offers are mainly permanent contracts. Independent engineers can also look at freelance missions in Belgium. Create a free job alert to receive new mechanical engineering jobs by e-mail, then log in to Engineering.jobs or create a free account to apply.
