- Experience: Graduate/Entry-level.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Engineering Support: Assist senior team members across various design and development activities.
- Core Design Tasks: Perform essential duties including 3D solid modeling, 2D drafting, and mechanical sizing calculations.
- Data Management: Execute and manage technical tasks within PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
- Revisions: Implement modifications and revisions to designs and drawings under the guidance of the team leader.
- Professional Growth: Actively participate in design meetings, workshops, and various training initiatives.

Role Summary
The Graduate Mechanical Engineer role at Sidel is a “Cradle-to-Grave” machine design position. Unlike a general CAD drafter, you are involved in Order Fulfillment. This means you aren’t just drawing parts; you are tracking a specific machine from the customer’s order through to the factory floor. You will learn how massive, modular packaging lines—often running at speeds of 80,000+ bottles per hour—are engineered for precision and durability.
Company Culture & Insights
Sidel carries the rigorous “Swedish-European” engineering DNA of the Tetra Laval Group. The culture is built on Sustainability and Precision. In the Pune office, which serves as a major global engineering hub, expect a professional environment where “Sizing Calculations” are taken very seriously—meaning you’ll apply the physics of torque, tension, and thermal expansion daily. Sidel values a “Passion for Partnering,” so you will likely interact with cross-functional teams in manufacturing and supply chain.
Why We Recommend This Job
- Global Tech Leader: Sidel has been innovating for 170 years. Having Sidel on your resume is an immediate endorsement of your technical rigor.
- End-to-End PLM Exposure: You will gain hands-on experience in PLM/ERP workflows, a skill that is essential for moving into Senior Engineering or Operations Management.
- FMCG Stability: The food and beverage packaging industry is recession-resistant. People always need safe, packaged goods, ensuring long-term career stability.
Career Growth Potential
Sidel is a fantastic launchpad into Industrial Automation. From this graduate role, you can advance into:
Sustainability Specialist: Focusing on the R&D of energy-efficient and PET-reducing packaging technologies.
Lead Machine Design Engineer: Taking ownership of entire machine sub-systems.
Project Manager: Overseeing the delivery of multi-million dollar packaging lines for global clients like Coca-Cola or Nestlé.
Skills You’ll Gain
- Precision 3D Modeling: Mastering complex assemblies and kinematic simulations.
- Sizing & Selection: Learning how to calculate the exact motor power, gear ratios, and material strengths required for high-speed machines.
- Order Fulfillment Logic: Understanding how a global engineering company manages thousands of parts to build a machine on a strict deadline.
Salary & Benefits Info
- Estimated Salary: For a Graduate Engineer in Pune’s high-end industrial sector, the Total Compensation (TC) typically ranges from ₹5,50,000 to ₹8,50,000 per annum.
- Benefits: Sidel offers a “Permanent” contract with global-standard benefits, including comprehensive medical care, life insurance, and access to the “Sidel Academy” for continuous professional training.
