Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for solving complex engineering challenges?
We’re looking for an experienced engineer to join a forward-thinking team designing large rotating components and mechanical systems for high-performance industrial applications.

This is a hands-on, technically challenging position where you’ll take ownership of designs from concept through to manufacture, applying your expertise in stress analysis, FEA, and 3D CAD to deliver innovative, reliable solutions.

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for rotating machinery using NX, Inventor, and AutoCAD

• Produce accurate 3D models and detailed 2D drawings in line with manufacturing standards

• Perform engineering calculations, including stress analysis, FEA, and FMEA

• Lead and contribute to new product development and continuous design improvement projects

• Prepare and maintain technical documentation – including BoMs, IOM manuals, and material specifications

• Apply DFMA and Value Engineering (VAVE) principles to drive quality and cost efficiency

• Work collaboratively with internal teams, suppliers, and customers to ensure design integrity and performance

• Support testing, supplier visits, and customer meetings as required

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in mechanical design, ideally involving large rotating equipment or assemblies

• Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software (NX, Inventor, AutoCAD)

• Solid understanding of stress analysis and FEA tools

• Experience in FMEA and risk-based design approaches

• Knowledge of ISO 9001 and manufacturing best practices

• Proven ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously

• A collaborative, proactive engineer with strong communication and problem-solving skills

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) – essential

• HNC/HND candidates with strong practical experience also considered

• IEng registration desirable but not essential

• Be part of a highly skilled, technically driven engineering team

• Work on challenging and high-impact design projects

• Opportunity to influence design direction from concept through to manufacture

• Professional development and career progression fully supported

• Competitive salary and benefits package
