Mechanical Engineer

Looking to step up your mechanical engineering career in a process-driven environment? At BakerHicks, we’re expanding our Process Engineering team and are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who wants hands-on exposure to complex pharmaceutical and manufacturing projects, not just another desk-based design role. This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging facilities where precision, compliance, and innovation really matter.

What you’ll be doing:

• Producing mechanical designs, specifications, and technical reports for process equipment and environments
• Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver fully integrated design solutions
• Contributing to concept and detailed design stages for manufacturing and process plants
• Applying OEM standards to ensure effective equipment integration and performance

What we’re looking for:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Experience in a Mechanical Engineering role a must - experience in process environments a plus!
• A fully completed Mechanical Engineering graduate programme in the last year or 2.
• A strong technical foundation with a genuine interest in process environments
• Experience or understanding of OEM standards and equipment integration
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach
• Eligibility to work permanently in the UK without sponsorship

Why BakerHicks?
