* Supporting progression of projects through key milestones into production
* Acting as a role model for junior engineers, supporting development and training
* Promoting engineering consistency, quality, and continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BEng essential, MEng desirable or equivalent experience)
* Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and best practice
* Experience using 2D and 3D CAD tools
* Understanding of Design for Manufacture / Assembly / Cost / Maintainability principles
* Experience working in a relevant engineering or manufacturing environment
* Ability to interpret technical requirements and develop robust design solutions
* Strong focus on delivery to project milestones and deadlines
* Willingness to continue professional development and progress towards chartership (desirable)
What’s in It for You
