  • Collaborate with suppliers on component selection and lifecycle support
  • Promote strong HSE performance through safe, compliant design and risk assessment

You are:

  • A motivated Mechanical Engineer with experience in equipment or systems design
  • Strong in mechanical design principles, including analysis (thermal, stress, vibration, flow and noise)
  • Proficient in CAD tools (Creo/ProE or AutoCAD desirable)
  • Familiar with PLM (Enovia/Windchill), MRP (M3) and engineering change processes
  • Able to interpret requirements and produce fabrication, assembly drawings and detailed specifications
  • A collaborative team player with strong communication and organisational skills
  • Adaptable, resilient and comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment

You’ll bring:

  • Experience in mechanical systems design and component selection
  • Knowledge of DFM/DFA principles and engineering best practice
  • Exposure to powertrain systems (engines, alternators, couplings, AVMs, mounting frames) and associated calculations
  • Understanding of cooling systems, including performance across different environmental conditions
  • Strong problem-solving ability with a focus on right-first-time, zero-defect delivery

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package, including pension and bonus
  • Generous holiday allowance with the option to buy or sell additional days
  • Access to development opportunities to grow your engineering career
  • Health and wellbeing support, including Employee Assistance Programme and GP services
