Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Heavy Industrial Equipment

Heavy Engineering | Stress Analysis | 3D CAD

We are recruiting an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering team designing heavy-duty industrial mechanical equipment used in demanding environments.

This role is ideal for a hands-on mechanical engineer with strong fundamentals in mechanical design, stress calculations and heavy machinery.

You will play a key role in the design and development of large mechanical components and assemblies, ensuring designs are robust, manufacturable and capable of operating in high-load industrial applications.

To be considered for this role, candidates should have:

• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in mechanical design engineering
• Experience designing industrial machinery or heavy mechanical equipment
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals
• Ability to perform manual stress and load calculations
• Strong experience using 3D CAD for mechanical design
• Experience producing detailed manufacturing drawings and assemblies

Engineers from the following industries are particularly relevant:

Key responsibilities include:

• Designingindustrial mechanical components and assemblies
• Producing 3D CAD models and detailed engineering drawings
• Carrying out stress, load and strength calculations
• Designing for manufacture, reliability and performance
• Supporting product development and engineering improvements
• Working closely with manufacturing and engineering teams

CAD systems used include NX, Inventor and AutoCAD.

This is an on-site engineering role within a manufacturing and engineering environment.

Engineers are expected to be comfortable working on-site five days per week, collaborating closely with production and engineering teams.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

Unfortunately visa sponsorship is not available, therefore candidates requiring sponsorship cannot be considered.

• Graduate or junior engineers with limited industry experience
• Candidates with CAD-only backgrounds without mechanical engineering analysis experience
• Engineers from consumer product, plastics or light product design industries

This is an opportunity to work on real mechanical engineering challenges, designing robust equipment used in demanding industrial environments.
