As an Industrial Design Engineer at Vax, you join a team being rebuilt around faster, curiosity-led work. Vax is part of TTI, the global group behind Milwaukee, Ryobi and Hoover, and is pulling product development back to the UK ahead of the brand’s fiftieth anniversary next year. You will work alongside a model shop and engineers in the same building, testing ideas quickly rather than waiting for a fixed brief.

This is a genuine chance to shape a function from the ground up.
