Creating and managing Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Liaising with shop floor, suppliers, and internal teams
Assisting with customer enquiries and technical queries
Using ERP systems to manage design data and components
What We’re Looking For

Minimum 1–2 years’ experience using SolidWorks (or similar 3D CAD)
Experience designing manufactured components (machining or fabrication)
Strong understanding of how products are made and function
Detail-oriented with a passion for engineering and problem solving
Ability to work closely with manufacturing teams
Good communication skills and a team-oriented mindset
The Benefits

Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Paid overtime
Early finish on Fridays
Join a stable, long-standing business with low staff turnover
Work in a close-knit engineering team with strong product knowledge
Opportunity to develop into more technical/specialist engineering work
Why Join?
