Mechanical Design Engineer

A successful and growing engineering manufacturer based in the East Yorkshire area is looking to recruit a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their established design office.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Graduate or Junior Mechanical Design Engineer who wants to build long-term technical capability within a supportive, professional engineering environment. The business offers structured development, exposure to real-world manufacturing and the chance to work alongside experienced mechanical, electrical and software engineers.

With a half day Friday finish and a strong people-first culture, this role offers genuine work-life balance alongside career development.

As Mechanical Design Engineer, you will support the design team across a range of mechanical engineering activities, contributing to the development, production and support of engineered products.

• Producing and checking mechanical component and assembly drawings
• Supporting manufacturing and assembly with accurate technical documentation
• Working closely with electrical design and software teams to ensure designs meet project and customer requirements
• Providing technical support to production, service teams, subcontractors and suppliers
• Assisting with design changes, revisions and continuous improvement activities
• Maintaining accurate records and documentation within the design office
• Occasional travel to other UK sites, suppliers or customer locations when required

This role is primarily office-based and offers hands‑on exposure to the full product lifecycle.

This role would suit a Graduate Mechanical Engineer or Junior Mechanical Design Engineer who is looking to develop their skills within a structured design environment.

We would be keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:

• A degree, HNC/HND or apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
• Some experience or understanding of mechanical design, assembly or manufacturing environments
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings
• A methodical approach with strong attention to detail
• Confidence working both independently and as part of a wider engineering team
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn

Experience with 2D and 3D CAD software would be beneficial, but full training and support will be provided.

• Competitive salary depending on experience
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Half day finish every Friday
• Structured training and development within a professional design office
• Supportive, employee‑focused culture
• Long‑term career progression opportunities

The role is based in the East Yorkshire area and is easily commutable from Driffield, Beverley, Bridlington, Malton and surrounding locations.
