Mechanical Design Engineer

Position: Mechanical Design Engineer (Permanent)
Location: Battlies Green

Tired of designing kit that never leaves the drawing board?

You know how it goes - weeks of modelling, refinement, reviews… then the project quietly dies because someone changed their mind or kicked it into “phase two” limbo. All that effort, wasted.

Here’s what’s different:

They actually build what you design. Proper engineering, proper output. This is a good old-fashioned British engineering business where everything’s done in-house - design, manufacture, assembly, test. No layers of corporate nonsense, no watching your work disappear into a void.

The reality:

You’ll be designing full systems - special purpose machinery, lifting solutions, bespoke engineered equipment. Solid Works is your daily tool. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the workshop, electrical, and production teams to get things built right. Expect real engineering challenges, not endless status meetings.

What you get:

£40,000 - £45,000 + excellent benefits

Full project ownership

A stable, established engineering business that backs its people

A workshop on-site, so you can actually see your designs come to life

Genuine variety - every project is different

You’ll love this if you:

Want your designs built, not buried

Prefer hands-on engineering over corporate ceremony

Have Solid Works experience and can turn ideas into manufacturable reality

Enjoy solving real-world problems with practical constraints

Like working somewhere where common sense actually wins
