Mechanical Design Engineer – Rotating Machinery

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for solving complex engineering challenges?
We’re looking for an experienced engineer to join a forward-thinking team designing large rotating components and mechanical systems for high-performance industrial applications.

This is a hands-on, technically challenging position where you’ll take ownership of designs from concept through to manufacture, applying your expertise in stress analysis, FEA, and 3D CAD to deliver innovative, reliable solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for rotating machinery using NX, Inventor, and AutoCAD

Produce accurate 3D models and detailed 2D drawings in line with manufacturing standards

Perform engineering calculations, including stress analysis, FEA, and FMEA

Lead and contribute to new product development and continuous design improvement projects

Prepare and maintain technical documentation – including BoMs, IOM manuals, and material specifications

Apply DFMA and Value Engineering (VAVE) principles to drive quality and cost efficiency

Work collaboratively with internal teams, suppliers, and customers to ensure design integrity and performance

Support testing, supplier visits, and customer meetings as required

What We’re Looking For

Minimum 5 years’ experience in mechanical design, ideally involving large rotating equipment or assemblies

Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software (NX, Inventor, AutoCAD)

Solid understanding of stress analysis and FEA tools

Experience in FMEA and risk-based design approaches

Knowledge of ISO 9001 and manufacturing best practices

Proven ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously

A collaborative, proactive engineer with strong communication and problem-solving skills

Qualifications

Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent) – essential

HNC/HND candidates with strong practical experience also considered

IEng registration desirable but not essential

Why Join Us

Be part of a highly skilled, technically driven engineering team

Work on challenging and high-impact design projects

Opportunity to influence design direction from concept through to manufacture

Professional development and career progression fully supported

Competitive salary and benefits package
