The company operates across two divisions, employing around 30 members of staff and generating a combined turnover of £4 million.

As a business, they prioritize steady growth, client satisfaction, and maintaining a collaborative working culture.

What we’re looking for in a Mechanical Design Engineer:

Experience in bespoke design, machine building, or heavy machinery.
Proficiency with CAD software—SolidWorks is preferred, but Inventor experience will be considered.
A solid understanding of manufacturing processes and cost-effective design.
Strong communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
A desire to grow into a leadership or management role.
Experience with SolidWorks PDM is highly desirable but not essential.
The Benefits:

Competitive salary up to £60,000 depending on experience.
Hybrid working options (2–3 days remote per week).
25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays.
Death in service benefit (4x salary).
Standard working hours of 8:30 am – 5:00 pm, with early finishes on Fridays.
