Job Description
White Label is partnered with a long-established UK machinery manufacturer in the North West that is looking to recruit a Mechanical Design Draughtsperson to join their growing team.
This is a hands-on design role where you’ll see your work progress from concept to fabrication, adapting proven machinery to bespoke customer requirements. The company manufactures industrial mixing and heavy rotating equipment supplied across a wide range of sectors.
It’s an excellent opportunity for a practical, detail-focused designer who enjoys working on large, complex machinery and wants to see their ideas built and in operation.
My client is offering a competitive salary based on experience and impact, plus:
*
3% employer pension contribution (with scope to increase for the right individual)
*
Contributory healthcare scheme (option for family cover)
*
Flexible start and finish times to ease commuting
*
On-site parking
*
Supportive, collaborative culture
*
Additional benefits such as life assurance and long-term sickness cover may also be considered
Key Responsibilities of the Mechanical Design Draughtsperson
*
Produce high-quality 3D and 2D designs using SolidWorks, with some AutoCAD for supplier and customer interface.
*
Adapt proven machinery designs to suit bespoke client specifications — including jackets, vacuum-rated features, discharge systems and spray bars.
*
Generate accurate manufacturing drawings, assemblies, and Bills of Materials (BoMs).
*
Collaborate closely with Production, Sales, and Supply Chain to ensure manufacturability and efficiency.
*
Provide engineering support during build, test, and handover phases.
Experience Required of the Mechanical Design Draughtsperson
*
Proven background in heavy mechanical design, ideally within rotating machinery, mixers, or large fabricated assemblies.
*
HNC/HND or higher in Mechanical Engineering – apprenticeship and degree backgrounds equally valued.
*
Proficient in SolidWorks; AutoCAD experience advantageous.
*
Capable of tailoring existing designs to bespoke client requirements.
*
Confident working closely with production and shop-floor teams.
*
Experience with medium-to-heavy fabrications (6–8 tonne) and knowledge of pressure or vacuum vessel integration desirable.
*
Understanding of hygienic or food/pharma-grade finishes would be beneficial.
This role is NOT the Right Fit If...
Your background lies primarily in mechatronics, control systems, pneumatics, or light machinery without exposure to heavy mechanical assemblies.
This vacancy is being managed by Stephanie Cash at White Label Recruitment.
