Are you a mechanically minded engineering graduate who wants more than just sitting behind a CAD screen all day?

We’re recruiting for a growing manufacturing business looking for a bright, driven Graduate Mechanical Engineer to join their engineering team in a varied, hands-on role with genuine long-term progression.

This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys understanding how things work in the real world — someone interested in manufacturing processes, quality, continuous improvement and problem solving, rather than purely design-based engineering.

You’ll work closely with production, quality and technical teams, helping new products move through manufacturing, supporting process improvements, updating engineering documentation and getting involved in day-to-day engineering challenges on the shop floor.

The role offers excellent exposure across:

Process engineering
	
Manufacturing engineering
	
Quality and continuous improvement
	
Technical documentation
	
NPI / new product introduction
	
Shop floor engineering support

We’re looking for someone who:

Has a degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Automotive or General Engineering
	
Can read engineering drawings
	
Has some CAD knowledge
	
Wants to build a long-term career within engineering and manufacturing
	
Is proactive, organised and keen to learn
	
Enjoys being hands-on and working closely with people across the business

What’s in it for you?

A genuinely varied engineering role with exposure across multiple areas of the business
	
The chance to develop practical, real-world engineering experience rather than being pigeonholed early in your career
	
Close mentoring and support from experienced engineers
	
Long-term progression opportunities within a growing technical environment
	
A collaborative, down-to-earth team culture where personality and attitude matter
	
The opportunity to build a strong foundation within process and manufacturing engineering — ideal for someone looking to develop a long-term engineering career
	
Early finish every Friday!
