Technical Designer

🎨 Technical Designer – Master of Making Ideas Real! 🛠️

Ready to turn jaw-dropping retail concepts into reality? Love the smell of freshly drawn schematics in the morning? We’re looking for a creative powerhouse with a head full of CAD magic and a heart that beats for beautifully built displays. If you dream in SolidWorks and can spot a misaligned bracket from 50 paces, keep reading – we’ve got your dream gig!

👷 What You\’ll Be Doing (AKA Your Design Quest):

As the go-to Technical Designer on a cross-functional team of creative dynamos, you’ll take center stage in bringing big ideas to life. From scribble-on-a-napkin concept to polished, production-ready drawings, you’re the design champion leading the charge. You’ll own the design like it’s your baby – and yes, we mean everything from shaping it up in 3D to seeing it strut its stuff on the factory floor.

✨ Your Day-to-Day Might Look Like This:

• Teaming up with visionary Concept Designers to bring those big ideas down to earth (in SolidWorks, of course).
• Transforming approved concepts into glorious 3D models and manufacturing drawings.
• Whipping out quick sketches to solve tricky assembly puzzles or help cost things up.
• Designing within budget (your design-fu includes cost-saving wizardry).
• Tag-teaming with Project Buyers to match designs with the right suppliers, globally.
• Jet-setting (okay, occasionally) to factories in the UK or abroad to ensure everything is spot-on.
• Playing prototype detective – reviewing, tweaking, and presenting to clients with confidence.
• Keeping designs smart, safe, stunning – and always client-ready.
• Creating top-notch documentation: parts lists, QC reports, guides, and more.
• Staying on top of deadlines, owning your time, and communicating like a pro.

💡 What You Bring to the Table (Besides Your Sketchbook):

• A degree in Product Design Engineering or something similarly cool (nice to have).
• Solid experience in POP/fixture design (you know your way around a display).
• A ninja-level understanding of materials and manufacturing processes:
• Metal: sheet, wire, tubular, welding, the whole nine yards.
• Plastic: vacuum forming, injection moulding, extrusion, yes please.
• Wood: cutting, crafting, finishing – you’re practically a carpenter.
• Mad skills in SolidWorks (or similar 3D CAD), plus a bit of Microsoft wizardry.
• Sketching that makes people go “whoa.”
• Stellar communication, a can-do attitude, and time management that keeps everything on track.
• A positive approach to problem-solving – you don’t panic, you pivot.
• Detail obsession (the good kind) and people skills that shine, even under pressure.
• A passport ready to be stamped – occasional travel is part of the adventure.

🚀 Why You’ll Love This Role:

You get to take ideas that start as dreams and turn them into tangible, show-stopping retail displays. You\’ll work with passionate people, flex your design muscles, and never be stuck in a boring routine. If you\’re ready to create, collaborate, and bring the wow to retail – this is your stage.
