Graduate Mechanical Design Engineer

With a wide range of ambitious programs and projects planned for the next few years we require the highest caliber of engineers across a range of disciplines; therefore we are currently looking for enthusiastic and career driven Mechanical Engineering Graduates to become part of our progressive design team.

As a Graduate Mechanical Design Engineer you will have access and exposure to all aspects of our mechanical, renewable and process engineering; with the guidance and expertise of our team of highly experienced engineers you will be able to take the knowledge and understanding you have gained at University and put it into practice to build a challenging, yet greatly rewarding career at Wykes Engineering.

We are looking for an enthusiastic graduate with BSc or BEng in Engineering from any IMechE accredited course.

As a Mechanical Engineering Graduate at Wykes Engineering you will work primarily within the Design Engineering Team where you will start by spending time on smaller scale projects as your drawing skills, engineering fundamentals, and familiarity with company processes are developed. Then, as experience is gained you will work more independently on larger scale projects. As a graduate you will be exposed to a range of engineering disciplines including Mechanical, Structural, Civils, Thermodynamics and Process Engineering. The successful candidate will join a highly skilled team, which will give you plenty of opportunity to develop a wide range of skills quickly.

We offer an internal graduate mentoring and training program aimed at developing your career; for the right candidate support for achieving their Masters would be considered.
