Job Description

Are you a talented Design Engineer with leadership experience who feels your management responsibilities aren’t fully recognised or rewarded? We’re working with an established engineering company looking for a Design Engineering Manager to lead their Technical & Design team while continuing to contribute hands-on to exciting, bespoke machinery projects.

This is a true player/manager role, perfect for someone who wants to grow in leadership while still staying involved in engineering design.

The Role:

  * Lead a team of 5 experienced design engineers, overseeing technical projects, design methodology, and delivery to tight deadlines.

  * Manage the development of innovative machinery and tooling solutions for clients, ensuring designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, and compliant with relevant standards.

  * Act as the key interface between design, manufacturing, and other departments, ensuring smooth project delivery and customer satisfaction.

  * Work hands-on as a Design Engineer on specific projects, using your technical expertise in mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and PLC-controlled systems.

  * Drive continuous improvement within the design function and ensure all IP and technical documentation is managed appropriately.

Who We’re Looking For:

  * Experienced Design Engineer with 10+ years in engineering design and 5+ years in a hands-on leadership or project management role.

  * Skilled in managing small teams, design projects, and budgets.

  * Strong technical expertise across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and software-controlled machinery.

  * Proficient in Solid Edge (or equivalent 3D CAD) and AutoCAD (or equivalent 2D CAD).

  * Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills; able to motivate a team and manage challenging situations tactfully.

  * Degree-qualified in Mechanical, Electrical, or relevant Engineering disciplines is advantageous.

Why This Role is Different:
This is an opportunity to step into a position where your leadership and managerial contributions are truly valued. You’ll shape the direction of a talented design team, have autonomy in your projects, and still enjoy the hands-on engineering work you love.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and lead a dynamic design function while making a real impact, we want to hear from you
