Are you a mechanically-minded Design Engineer with experience in air technology, HVAC, ventilation, ducting or a closely related engineering environment?

Our client is looking to appoint a Design Engineer to join an established engineering team, supporting the design and delivery of bespoke technical systems for industrial and commercial customers. This is a varied office-based role, suited to someone who enjoys producing practical, accurate designs that can be manufactured, installed and delivered successfully on customer sites.

The successful candidate will have a strong mechanical design background, good AutoCAD 2D capability and the confidence to liaise with colleagues, suppliers and customers where required.

Supporting the development of practical design solutions from survey information, project requirements and technical specifications 
	
Preparing general arrangement drawings, fabrication details and associated parts information 
	
Assisting with site surveys and measurements alongside project, sales or engineering colleagues 
	
Liaising with suppliers to obtain pricing and technical information for manufactured components and bought-in items 
	
Supporting quality checks and documentation relating to drawings, designs and supplier-manufactured items 
	
Maintaining organised drawing records and working in line with internal design standards 
	
Providing wider engineering and project support as required by the Engineering Manager 

Person Specification

We are looking for candidates with:

Previous experience in a mechanical design, draughting or design engineering role 
	
A background in air technology, HVAC, ventilation, ducting, extraction, air movement or a related field would be highly advantageous 
	
Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD 2D 
	
Experience producing fabrication, layout, installation or manufacturing drawings 
	
A recognised engineering qualification, ideally HNC level or equivalent 
	
Good communication skills and the confidence to work with internal teams, suppliers and customer-site stakeholders 
	
A practical approach to design, with an understanding of how drawings translate into manufacture and installation 
	
3D CAD experience, particularly Inventor, would be beneficial but is not essential 

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established specialist engineering business offering a stable, technically interesting role with genuine variety. The position offers a salary of £30,000 - £42,000 depending on experience, along with benefits including a staff bonus scheme, enhanced pension contributions and holiday entitlement that increases with service.
