21 Mechanical Engineering Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of MECHANICAL ENGINEERING INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to be a Mechanical Engineer?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am naturally an inquisitive person who enjoys working in a team environment where the ability to problem-solve and collaborate with others is an essential part of the role. I believe I have a good balance of technical, analytical and practical skills that mean I am a strong candidate for this mechanical engineering position. I have always had a passion for mechanical engineering, which means I have a desire to go above and beyond what is required. I also understand how important safety is in respect of mechanical engineering, and on that basis, I am someone who is disciplined, organized and able to follow strict rules and procedures. I will never take risks or put your organization in danger through the work I carry out for you. I suppose the last thing I would like to say is, I feel if you invest in me, I will repay the faith you have shown in hiring me by being professional, conscientious and a positive contributor to the mechanical engineering team.”
Q2. What do you think are the most important skills to have as a mechanical engineer?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I think the most important skill as a mechanical engineer is safety awareness and compliance. You also need numerous other technical and non-technical skills to be a competent and safe mechanical engineer. You need effective technical skills that are relevant to your field of engineering, including the ability to dedicate the time to continually improve and keep up-to-date with industry developments. You also need analytical and problem-solving capabilities and accurate written communication skills. You will need concise and clear verbal communication skills, especially when speaking to non-technical individuals. Having the ability to work under pressure is also vital, as well as having great teamworking skills whereby you are entirely focused on achieving the company objectives. Finally, a level of commercial awareness is an advantage, because decisions have to be made from a financial and business perspective in order for the company to continually thrive and develop.”
