If your current role feels like small tweaks, repeat drawings, or design work that never really goes anywhere... this is the opposite.
This is proper mechanical engineering.
You’ll be designing bespoke machinery that gets built, installed, and used by well-known manufacturing businesses. Not sat in a folder. Not watered down.
What’s actually better here
* Every project is different. No catalogue work
* You see what you design go into production
* You’re solving real engineering problems, not just detailing
* You’re working on equipment used by major, recognisable companies
* Backed by a global engineering group, so projects actually happen
The role
You’ll take customer requirements and turn them into working mechanical designs.
That means:
* SolidWorks design of machinery and components
* Full assemblies and manufacturing drawings
* Supporting builds and solving issues as they happen
* Working closely with production, service, and suppliers
It’s hands-on. You’re not removed from the outcome.
What you get
* £35,000 – £42,000 depending on experience
* Variety of projects across different industries
* Real ownership of your work
* Stability of an established engineering business
* Exposure to international projects and training
Who this suits
Someone who:
* Wants more ownership and variety
* Enjoys solving problems, not just producing drawings
* Is comfortable in a machinery / production environment
If you’re bored of repeat work or being too far from the end product, this is worth a look
