Mechanical Designer

LHH Recruitment Solutions has partnered with a growing organization, and they are seeking a motivated Mechanical Designer – Industrial Equipment / Heavy Machinery / Conveyor Systems to join their team. This role offers the opportunity to work on complex, custom-engineered equipment in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where innovation and precision are critical. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced designer who thrives in a hands‑on environment and enjoys bringing concepts to life—from initial design through production release—while partnering cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams.

The Mechanical Designer will be responsible for developing detailed design solutions that support the production of engineered equipment. This individual will play a key role in creating accurate CAD models and drawings, managing design documentation, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives throughout the product lifecycle. This role requires a strong understanding of sheet metal design, heavy equipment, or conveyor systems, along with the ability to translate engineering concepts into manufacturable designs.

• Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings using Autodesk Inventor and related CAD tools.
• Design mechanical systems and components based on engineering requirements, specifications, and project scope.
• Develop and maintain standardized design libraries to improve efficiency and consistency.
• Generate comprehensive design documentation including bills of materials (BOMs), assembly layouts, and fabrication drawings.
• Manage revision control and maintain accurate, up-to-date design documentation throughout project life cycles.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with engineering, production, and purchasing teams to ensure design feasibility and manufacturability.
• Support production by troubleshooting design‑related issues and implementing design improvements as needed.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous process and product improvements.
• Ensure alignment with internal standards, quality requirements, and customer specifications.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in mechanical design, ideally within manufacturing, heavy equipment, or conveyor systems.
• Strong proficiency with Autodesk Inventor.
• Hands‑on experience with sheet metal design and/or heavy mechanical assemblies.
• Proven ability to create detailed manufacturing drawings, layouts, and BOMs.
• Solid understanding of design for manufacturability (DFM) principles and drafting standards.
• Experience managing design revisions and engineering documentation in a structured environment.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience with welded assemblies and fabrication processes.
• Working knowledge of Excel and iLogic for design automation and data management.
• Exposure to ERP or PLM systems is a plus.
