We're hiring a Mechanical Design Engineer to work on heavy industrial equipment used in critical power generation applications for Nuclear, Oil & Gas industries. This is a role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail - producing accurate, manufacturing-ready drawings, not just 3D models as well as being highly involved in solving real-world engineering problems.

- Creating detailed 2D & 3D designs in SolidWorks
- Producing fully toleranced engineering drawings (GD&T)
- Supporting designs from concept through to manufacture
- Working closely with manufacturing to ensure designs are practical and buildable
- Applying DFM / DFA principles across complex assemblies
- Contributing to design reviews and engineering documentation
What we're looking for:
- 3-5 years in a mechanical design engineering role
- Strong SolidWorks (or similar CAD) experience
- Confident producing high-quality, manufacturing drawings
- Solid understanding of GD&T and tolerancing principles
- Background in heavy engineering / manufacturing / industrial environments
- Exposure to rotating equipment is a bonus
This role is not FEA-heavy - the focus is on practical design, drawings, and engineering detail.
Why apply?
- Work on complex, real-world engineering products
- Highly visible role with impact across design & manufacturing
- Join a business with strong heritage in critical industrial equipment
- Opportunity to deepen expertise in precision engineering & GD&T
