Mechanical Design Engineer

Elev8 Recruitment Ltd

Mechanical Design Engineer

Woolpit, Suffolk

£50k-£55k (Dependant on experience)

Most Design Engineer jobs promise "exciting projects" and "career progression."

This isn't one of them.

Instead, here's what actually matters.

You'll be joining a well-established engineering business that's replacing a long-standing Design Engineer. This isn't a growth role or a business constantly recruiting because people leave. It's a genuine opportunity to become the go-to Design Engineer in a company that values good engineering and looks after its people.

The work is genuinely varied.

You'll be designing bespoke process pipework systems, access platforms, walkways and structural steelwork for projects across a variety of industries. You'll be involved from initial concept through to manufacture and installation, carrying out site surveys, producing manufacturing drawings and working closely with fabrication throughout the project lifecycle.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your week making minor drawing revisions.

Every project is different, giving you the opportunity to solve real engineering problems and see your designs brought to life.

We're looking for someone with:

  • SolidWorks experience, ideally including Routing and Piping
  • Experience designing process pipework or similar mechanical systems
  • A background in fabricated steelwork, platforms, walkways or bespoke mechanical equipment
  • Confidence carrying out site surveys and translating requirements into practical engineering solutions

Why join?

The engineering is interesting, but it's the business that really stands out.

You'll be working directly with the Managing Director, who believes in investing in both the business and the people within it. Decisions are made quickly, ideas are listened to and good engineers are trusted to do what they do best.

Rather than operating in layers of management and endless meetings, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on projects and the business itself.

Package

  • £50k-£55k Dependant on Experience
  • 25 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays
  • Company sick pay
  • Stable, long-term opportunity
  • Varied bespoke engineering projects
  • Supportive, down-to-earth working environment

If you're a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys practical engineering, bespoke design work and wants to work for a business where your contribution is genuinely valued, I'd be keen to speak with you.
