Most Mechanical Design Engineer roles talk about “end-to-end exposure.”
This one actually delivers it.

Equipment is built on-site.
You’ll design it… then walk into the workshop and see if it works.
No hiding behind drawings. No passing problems down the line.

This Blackburn-based engineering company designs and builds special purpose machinery for high-speed manufacturing environments.

They’re growing - properly growing…

  * Proven experience in sheet metal and machinery design

  * Background within a manufacturing or engineering environment

  * Familiarity with PDM (Product Data Management) systems

  * Practical mindset with strong attention to detail

  * £35,000 - £43,000 (salary level depending on experience)

  * Early finish every Friday (1pm)

  * 33 Days Holiday (including bank holidays)

  * Regular Performance and pay reviews
