Job Description

Mechanical Design Engineer – Trafford Park | Up to £60,000 (DOE) | Permanent

We're working with a specialist machinery business based in Trafford Park, delivering high quality engineering solutions to leading names across manufacturing, automotive, pharmaceutical, food processing, chemical, aerospace, aggregates and utilities. It's a small, close-knit engineering team, working on a genuinely varied range of products and projects across a wide section of industries - no two jobs are the same.

The business is growing, and they're looking for someone who wants to be properly hands-on - involved in design from concept right through to fabrication and build, not just sat behind a screen.

The role:

  * Designing and developing mechanical parts, assemblies, enclosures and product packaging using parametric 3D CAD (Solidworks essential, other packages considered depending on background)

  * Working with Solidworks PDM

  * Taking mechanical designs from customer requirement through to final fabrication and assembly

  * Specifying materials and manufacturing processes, including plastic mouldings, welding and sheet metal parts

  * Applying knowledge of kinematics, motion control and pneumatic systems

  * Using simulation and analysis software to model and test designs

  * Producing documentation and working instructions

  * Contributing to continuous improvement within the team

What they're looking for:

  * Experience in a mechanical engineering role

  * Solidworks skills (or similar), with hands-on experience is a plus

  * Good working knowledge of fabrication - welding, turning, milling, build

  * Understanding of GD&T and product testing/evaluation methods

  * A quick learner, comfortable working as part of a small team

  * Full UK driving licence

Package:

  * Up to £60,000, depending on experience

  * 28 days holiday including bank holidays

  * Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 4:30pm

  * Please note: this role is fully office/site-based

  * 

Requirements:

  * Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK - unfortunately sponsorship isn't available for this role
