£35,000 - £42,000 (dependent on experience)

For over 40 years, we've been at the forefront of bespoke materials handling and conveying system design in the UK. What started as a mining equipment supplier has evolved into a multi-sector engineering company, delivering innovative solutions across Power Generation, Waste Management, Mining, and Quarrying industries.

Our reputation is built on engineering excellence, creative problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering projects that exceed expectations.

The Opportunity

We're experiencing exciting growth and need a talented Mechanical Design Engineer to join our close-knit team of 5 skilled engineers. We're looking for someone whose strengths and interests will complement our team, whether that's in detailed draughting or innovative design development.

Every project is different. One week you might be designing a complex conveyor system for a power station; the next, you could be solving structural challenges for a quarrying operation. If you thrive on variety and want to see your designs come to life in real-world applications, this is your opportunity.

* Background in heavy engineering, structural steelwork, bespoke industrial equipment, conveyors, or materials handling systems

* Valid UK driving licence

Desirable:

* Engineering qualification (HNC level or above; Level 3 apprenticeship-trained engineers welcome)

* Health & Safety certification (IOSH or NEBOSH)

* A passion for solving complex engineering challenges
