Who we're looking for

To apply you will be motivated and technically capable with experience in a design or engineering role, ideally within a manufacturing or engineered products environment. You will have experience supporting product development projects and working through a stage-gate development process.

A degree or HNC/HND in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering is desirable.

You should be proficient in 3D CAD and 2D drawing production, with the ability to interpret and create technical drawings and manage engineering data, including bills of materials. A good understanding of prototyping, testing and validation activities, along with a working knowledge of relevant standards and directives, is important.

You will be a well-organised and self-motivated individual with strong attention to detail and problem-solving capability. A positive, can-do attitude and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively are essential. Strong communication skills, a proactive approach and a willingness to learn and develop are key, along with a commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
