MGF is currently seeking a Design Engineer to join a leading Temporary Works Engineering department, based in Astley, Manchester.
Specialising in temporary works design, the successful candidate will be working within a 35‑strong engineering department in Manchester with full technical responsibility for their own projects.
Following an established, successful training programme, the successful candidate will have full technical responsibility for their own projects, be expected to manage their own designs and attend site meetings/inspections nationwide in support of their design work – initially supported by Design Team Leaders. The position offers a high degree of responsibility very quickly for candidates with the right aptitude.

The core requirements for this role are:
