  • Take designs from concept through design reviews, customer feedback and into manufacture.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver robust engineering solutions.
  • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) programmes and future facility developments.


Essential Skills & Experience

  • Strong mechanical engineering background.
  • Previous experience using Creo and Teamcenter.
  • Excellent understanding of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing).
  • Experience producing engineering calculations.
  • Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.


Desirable Experience

  • Engine test facilities or development environments.
  • Automotive, aerospace or heavy engineering industries.
  • Knowledge of driveline systems and vibration analysis.
  • Engine knowledge (beneficial but not essential).


What's on Offer?

  • £38.49 per hour (£307.92 per day)
  • Initial 12-month contract
  • Opportunity to work on technically challenging, bespoke engineering projects.
  • Collaborative engineering environment.
