Project Design Engineer
Full-Time | Permanent
An established engineering business is seeking a talented Project Design Engineer to take ownership of bespoke, project-based design work from concept through to completion.
This is an opportunity for a confident and commercially aware engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, working directly with clients, and seeing their designs delivered into reality. You will play a key role in leading the technical development of custom projects, collaborating across manufacturing, project management and installation teams to ensure successful delivery.
This is a senior technical role with full project responsibility, but no direct people management.
The Role
* Develop bespoke engineering solutions in response to client specifications and project requirements
* Produce detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies and fabrication drawings using SolidWorks
* Generate GA drawings, manufacturing packs, technical documentation and Bills of Materials
* Ensure designs meet safety, regulatory and quality standards
* Provide technical input to support costing, scheduling and planning
* Identify and resolve technical risks proactively
* Act as a key technical contact for clients, attending meetings and responding to queries
* Maintain accurate revision control and structured project documentation
About You
* Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
* Strong experience in bespoke or engineered-to-order environments
* Advanced SolidWorks capability, including assemblies and drawing production
* Good understanding of fabrication methods and Design for Manufacture (DFM)
* Confident working directly with clients on technical requirements
* Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects
* Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills
What's on Offer
* High levels of technical ownership and autonomy
* Varied, project-driven workload
* Collaborative and supportive engineering environment
* Long-term career stability within a growing business
If you are a technically strong design engineer looking for a role where you can take full project ownership and make a genuine impact, we would welcome your application.
