Event Engineering are a Loughborough based live events company working for global brands on custom build projects.

We are seeking a Design Developer to join our growing Design and Build team to lead on bespoke build projects. Turning our clients concepts and ideas into real life sets, exhibition stands, and custom units. With no two events the same, each project brings new challenges to solve.

If you enjoy variety, working with a close-knit passionate team and exploring new techniques and materials this could be the perfect role for you.

What will you do as a Design Developer?

● Help scope solutions and decide how best to build the stands, taking into account timescales, budgets, manufacturing techniques, materials and finishes

● Create 2D and 3D drawings for client approval

● Adjust designs as the projects develop and change

● Produce cutting lists, machining data, working drawings and picking lists for use by the build team and any external suppliers

● Specify, quantify and order materials and commission external specialist suppliers as needed e.g. metal working and glass

What we offer:

● Varied work with bespoke projects for large household-name brands

● Learning and development opportunities

● The chance to expand your knowledge of manufacturing techniques, materials as well as getting hands on with new skills such as 3D printing, laser cutting, large-format printing if desired

● The opportunity to travel to deliver projects, both in the UK and internationally

● Private Healthcare and Rewards Programme, eyecare vouchers, EAP, 32 days annual leave including bank holidays, casual dress, free on-site parking, company events

We’re looking for someone with:

● A high level of attention to detail and excellent problem solving skills

● Be well versed in the use of 3D part modelling software (Inventor, Solidworks etc). Proficiency in 2D AutoCAD is desirable

● The ability to tailor a design for manufacture and previous experience of being responsible for taking a project from concept to manufacture

● Experience/knowledge of Joinery manufacture and finishing techniques, as well as broad experience with other materials e.g. metal, acrylic and print

● Strong business acumen and commercial awareness

● Relevant experience in events, exhibitions or temporary installations is strongly desired

We run a 40 hour week Monday - Friday, however, given the nature of the events industry the flexibility to work outside of these hours will sometimes be required. You must be able to commute to our premises in Loughborough where this role is based.
