Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Southampton  Full Time, Permanent
£50,000 - £60,000

Want to take ownership of exciting, bespoke engineering projects?

We’re working with a specialist engineering business that designs and builds highly bespoke industrial machinery and process equipment for a range of demanding industries.

They’re growing and looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join their close-knit, multidisciplinary engineering team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to be hands-on, technically involved and genuinely influential in the design process.

The Opportunity

You’ll have ownership of mechanical design projects from initial concept through to manufacture, installation and commissioning.

You’ll be working on:

Bespoke industrial machinery
Complex mechanical systems
Material handling & conveyor systems
Sheet metal, frames, enclosures & guarding
Pneumatics, hydraulics, motors & drive systems
Mechanical/electrical integration
New designs and continuous improvements

You'll work closely with electrical engineers, manufacturing teams, suppliers and customers to turn ideas into fully working engineering solutions.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys solving problems and designing something different every day.

You'll ideally have:

Strong 3D CAD experience
Experience designing machinery or bespoke equipment
Good knowledge of manufacturing and DFM/DFA

Experience with mechanical systems and integration
A practical, hands-on approach
The ability to take ownership of projects

Experience with Solid Edge, Solid Works, Inventor or Creo would be beneficial.

Knowledge of machinery safety, commissioning, compliance or technical leadership would also be advantageous.

Why Consider It?

This isn't a role where you'll simply be producing drawings to someone else's design.

You'll have the opportunity to own your designs, influence engineering decisions and see your work become reality.

You'll be joining a specialist business working on technically challenging projects where no two solutions are quite the same.

If you're a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer looking for more ownership, variety and technical challenge, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.
