Mechanical Design/Project Engineer

We are recruiting a Mechanical Design / Project Engineer on behalf of a well-established, successful manufacturer supplying specialist equipment into a demanding global industry, with a strong reputation built on reliability, quality and excellent after-sales support.

This is a genuine opportunity for a Mechanical Design / Project Engineer to join a talented engineering team and take real ownership of products from initial concept through to a finished, working part. The business is happy to provide full training on their specific tools and processes, so while relevant industry background is a bonus, it isn't essential — what matters most is a strong design foundation and a genuine willingness to learn.

The Role:

As Mechanical Design / Project Engineer, you will be:

• Creating 3D CAD models, assemblies and 2D drawings using PTC Creo and AutoCAD
• Designing piece parts across a range of manufacturing processes — casting, machining, fabrication
• Maintaining and improving existing product lines and drawings via formal engineering change procedures
• Supporting value engineering and product improvement projects
• Producing and maintaining product instruction manuals and technical/sales literature
• Supporting contract documentation and working closely with the team on large-scale one-off projects
• Attending client and project meetings
• Managing BOMs within the company's MRP system
• Preparing designs, calculations, specifications and tender documentation

What We Are Looking For:

• BSc/BEng (or equivalent) in Engineering
• 3+ years' experience designing piece-part components
• Solid understanding of geometrical tolerances
• Good working knowledge of AutoCAD (2D) and 3D CAD such as PTC Creo or SolidWorks
• Strong numerical and methodical problem-solving skills
• Experience with BOM creation and control within a CAD package
• A hands-on, detail-focused approach and comfortable working independently
• Any marine or relevant mechanical industry background advantageous but not required — full training will be provided

The Package:

• Competitive salary with annual review
• Company profit share scheme
• Company pension scheme (following probation)
• Permanent position
