Mechanical Design Engineer
Bespoke Automation
Rochdale | £55,000£60,000 + package | On-site
Designing bespoke automation is never straightforward. Thats why we need an engineer who thrives on complexity.
Are you the type of person who enjoys tackling complex problems and seeing your ideas turn into real machines on the shop floor?
The company Im working with is known for taking on projects that others shy away from and they do it with a close-knit, supportive team where everyone chips in to get things over the line. No egos, no silos, just engineers working together to deliver solutions that actually make a difference.
Theyre now looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join the team. If youve got a background in special-purpose machinery or automation, and you thrive on variety rather than repetition, this could be the move youve been waiting for.
Ideally, youll have around 10+ years experience designing bespoke automation or robotics projects from scratch including conveyors, end-of-arm tooling, palletising systems, that kind of thing. SolidWorks is their tool of choice, but if youve mastered another CAD system and can show you can deliver, theyll want to talk.
This isnt a job where you hand over a drawing and walk away. Youll be involved in projects full cradle-to-grave: concept, mechanical calculations, modelling, customer and supplier interaction, right through to commissioning. Youll also be working alongside electrical and controls engineers to deliver automation systems across industries like pharma, food, packaging and automotive.
Whats in it for you? A salary of £55k£60k, flexible working hours, and the backing of a genuinely supportive team. And unlike larger corporates, you wont get lost in the crowd here, youll see your designs built, installed, and running.
For context, this company designs and manufactures bespoke machinery and turnkey automation systems, partnering with robotics giants like KUKA, Mitsubishi and Kawasaki. Projects range from single-axis systems to large multi-axis automation lines so theres always something new to get stuck into.
If youre looking for a role where your work matters, where the projects are as varied as they are challenging, and where the team has your back, this could be it.
