Job Description

Project Design Engineer

Location: Desborough, Northamptonshire
Salary: £45,000–£50,000 + bonus
Working: Office-based with UK site travel

An established and growing engineering business is looking for an experienced Project / Design Engineer to join its engineering team.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll take ownership of projects from initial concept and sales handover, through detailed design, manufacture, installation and commissioning.

The Role

  * Develop initial concepts into practical engineering solutions

  * Produce 3D designs and GA drawings using SolidWorks

  * Design conveyors, machinery, platforms, walkways and associated equipment

  * Carry out customer site surveys and ensure new equipment integrates with existing plant

  * Produce and manage BOMs using an MRP system

  * Work closely with Project Managers, detailers and manufacturing teams

  * Act as a key technical contact for customers

  * Support installation and commissioning on customer sites

  * Take engineering ownership of projects through to completion

Projects range from smaller conveyor systems through to major turnkey plant installations lasting 12+ months.

What We’re Looking For

  * Around 5+ years' relevant engineering/design experience

  * Strong SolidWorks experience – essential

  * Background designing machinery, conveyors or material handling equipment

  * Experience taking designs from concept/GA through to manufacture

  * Good understanding of BOMs and MRP/ERP systems

  * Practical understanding of how machinery is manufactured, installed and operated

  * Comfortable dealing directly with customers

  * Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites

Experience with turnkey machinery, production lines, heavy machinery, recycling/waste equipment or plant integration would be particularly relevant.

Structural calculations, FEA and fabrication experience would be advantageous but aren't essential. A degree is also not essential – practical engineering experience is highly valued.

Package

  * £45,000–£50,000 basic salary, with some flexibility for exceptional candidates

  * Discretionary Christmas bonus

  * Approx. 24 days' holiday + bank holidays

  * Pension

  * Company/pool vehicles for site travel

  * Genuine progression opportunities within a growing engineering team
