We’re looking for a hands-on Technical Designer with the skill and mindset of an engineer — someone who can take a concept sketch and translate it into a fully specified, manufacturable solution down to the very last bolt.
Working within a fast-paced, collaborative environment, you’ll be the technical backbone of retail design projects, transforming creative concepts into engineered reality. This is a role for a meticulous problem-solver who understands the nuances of manufacturing across wood, metal, and plastics — and who thrives on making things actually work in the real world.
Day to day:
* Turning visuals into SolidWorks 3D models and production-ready drawings
* Engineering every detail of the design, from material choice to fixings
* Managing prototypes, first-offs, and build reviews — UK and overseas
* Collaborating with buyers and manufacturers to align design with production
* Creating technical documentation: BOMs, assembly guides, QC reports
Experience:
* Strong knowledge of metal, plastic, and wood fabrication
* Proficiency in SolidWorks and hands-on manufacturing understanding
* Background in POP/retail fixture design or product design engineering
* Excellent sketching, problem-solving, and communication skills
* A proactive, detail-driven approach and confidence to own your work
If you’re the kind of designer who thinks like an engineer — and loves seeing your work out in the world — we’d love to hear from you.
