Mechanical Design Engineer
Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer looking to grow your expertise in special purpose machinery and automated systems? This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast–paced, project–led engineering team designing bespoke automation solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
Working across the full project lifecycle from early concepts through to detailed design, build support, and installation you’ll play a key role in turning customer requirements into fully engineered, robust and cost–effective machinery. Occasional visits to customer sites across the UK will be required.
What You’ll Be Doing as a Mechanical Design Engineer
* Developing mechanical concepts for bespoke special purpose machinery and robotic automation equipment
* Producing detailed 3D designs, engineering drawings, and documentation
* Completing design calculations, verification work, and technical checks
* Managing project–related tasks including customer discussions, design reviews, specification of bought–in components, and BOM creation
* Supporting CE marking, risk assessments, and compliance documentation
* Providing technical guidance to system build and controls teams throughout the project
What We’re Looking For in a Mechanical Design Engineer
* Proven mechanical design and concept development experience ideally within special purpose machinery or automated equipment
* Ability to create innovative, practical solutions that balance performance, cost, and customer requirements
* Strong 3D CAD skills
* Good understanding of British standards, geometric tolerances, and producing accurate design calculations
* Familiarity with sheet metalwork, machined components, welded fabrications, and mechanical assembly methods
* Self–driven, clear communicator, and comfortable working within a multidisciplinary engineering team
