Location: Nottingham
Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 + Training & Development
Hours: Monday to Friday, Full Time

Elevation Recruitment Group are working with a leading manufacturing business to recruit a Junior Mechanical Engineer to join their growing engineering team in Nottingham.

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate, apprentice-trained engineer or junior mechanical engineer looking to build a varied career across design, production engineering and toolmaking. You'll join a close-knit engineering team where no two days are the same, gaining exposure from initial product development through to production support and continuous improvement.

If you enjoy a hands-on engineering environment and want to develop your machining and manufacturing skills alongside CAD design, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Junior Mechanical Engineer, you'll split your time between the engineering office, production floor and machine shop, supporting the introduction of new products and improving manufacturing processes.

You'll be involved in:

• Designing jigs, fixtures and production tooling using SolidWorks
• Supporting new product introduction from concept through to production
• Producing manufacturing documentation, work instructions and process information
• Working alongside production teams to trial and introduce new equipment
• Assisting with continuous improvement projects across manufacturing
• Supporting engineering data and production information
• Learning toolmaking techniques within the machine shop
• Manufacturing tooling using engineering drawings and CAD models
• Providing day-to-day engineering support across production

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

• HNC, HND or Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Strong CAD skills, ideally using SolidWorks
• A sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• A proactive attitude and genuine enthusiasm to learn
• Confidence working both independently and within a team

• Experience using manual machine tools such as mills or lathes
• CNC or machining knowledge
• Experience creating jigs, fixtures or production tooling

If you're looking for a role where you can develop into a well-rounded mechanical engineer and gain experience across design, manufacturing and production engineering, we'd love to hear from you.
