About the Role

This is a dynamic and varied CAD design position working across both new product development and project delivery. If you enjoy jumping between concept design, real-world system layouts, and problem-solving on the fly, this is the right role for you.

As the Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll produce full drawing packages: parts, assemblies, fabrication, P&IDs, GA layouts, and more. You'll work with both bespoke components (nozzles, washguns) and system-level designs (pumps, pipework, hygienic equipment) that integrate into food-grade manufacturing environments.

This is not just a desk-based drawing role. Expect site visits, random briefs, tight turnarounds, and a fast-moving team culture that values people who get stuck in.

What You'll Be Doing

* Produce detailed 2D/3D CAD drawings (SolidWorks preferred)

* Create system layout drawings, P&IDs, installation drawings, and user manuals

* Modify and develop existing designs to support manufacture and assembly

* Occasionally accompany project managers to customer sites for surveys

* Support both pre-sales technical input and new product R&D

* Work closely with a small, agile, and motivated cross-functional team

What We're Looking For

* Proven experience with 2D & 3D CAD (SolidWorks or similar)

* Mechanical design background – ideally with knowledge of pipework, systems, or machinery

* Basic electrical or automation understanding is a bonus

* Strong multitasker who can handle changing priorities and urgent design needs

* Self-motivated, solutions-focused, and happy to work in a fast-paced environment

* Able to commute daily to site (hybrid working available after initial onboarding)

Desirable Backgrounds

This role would suit someone from:

* Food production / hygienic systems

* Oil & gas / industrial process systems

* Factory automation

* Product design or mechanical systems integration
