Job Description:
A small, specialist engineering company based in Teesside is seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join its growing team. The company designs and manufactures bespoke material handling equipment, with a particular focus on chutes.
Due to continued growth and investment in new technologies, this is an excellent long-term opportunity for a locally based engineer who thrives in a hands-on design office environment and is looking to make a meaningful impact within a close-knit team.
Responsibilities
Producing detailed mechanical designs and 3D models using Autodesk Inventor
Performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to validate chute designs and ensure structural integrity
Supporting the implementation and use of Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) software (Altair) to simulate material flow
Collaborating closely with fabrication and engineering teams to ensure design feasibility and alignment with manufacturing processes
Taking ownership of design projects from concept through to completion
Contributing to design improvements and the development of bespoke solutions tailored to customer needs
Experience
Proven experience in mechanical design engineering, ideally within the material handling or heavy industrial sectors
Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor with strong 3D modelling and detailing skills
Practical experience conducting FEA as part of the design process
Familiarity with DEM software, particularly Altair, is highly desirable
Strong problem-solving skills and high attention to detail
Self-motivated and able to work independently as well as part of a small team
Ideally based in the Teesside area or willing to relocate for a long-term opportunity
What the Company Offers
A stable, long-term role in a well-established business
The opportunity to work on bespoke projects from concept to completion
Ongoing support for training and development, including new software like DEM
A collaborative and supportive working environment with the chance to have direct input into the design process
