Job Description

Senior Design Mechanical Engineer

Progression | Quarterly Profit Share | Market-Leading Manufacturing

A leading UK manufacturer at the forefront of energy-efficient power solutions is seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join its growing engineering team in Leeds.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior, influential role within an established, family-owned business that is investing heavily in innovation, people and long-term growth.

This role offers real career progression, the chance to shape future products, and a highly attractive quarterly profit-share scheme—meaning success is genuinely shared.

The Role

The successful Senior Mechanical Engineer will play a key leadership role within the mechanical engineering function, supporting the development of the team while driving high-quality design, innovation and continuous improvement.

Key responsibilities include:

  * Mentoring and developing the mechanical engineering team

  * Managing day-to-day departmental workload alongside the Lead Mechanical Engineer

  * Overseeing mechanical designs, drawings and bills of materials (BOMs)

  * Ensuring all designs meet BS/IEC standards and customer specifications

  * Selecting components to meet electrical and mechanical performance requirements

  * Preparing working designs, prototypes and supporting testing activity

  * Collaborating with internal project teams and external customers

  * Driving R&D and continuous improvement of existing and future products

  * Providing technical input at contract start-up and producing technical documentation

  * Managing resources, departmental targets and workflow processes

  * Developing component libraries and delivering internal technical training

This is a hands-on senior role with genuine influence over product direction, engineering standards and team development.

About the Ideal Candidate

  * Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)

  * Proven experience in mechanical design within an industrial/manufacturing environment

  * Strong working knowledge of BS/IEC standards

  * Proficient in 2D & 3D CAD (AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks or similar)

  * Experienced in BOM creation and component selection

  * Strong technical problem-solving and analytical skills

  * Confident managing multiple projects and deadlines

  * Natural leader with strong communication and mentoring ability

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  * Quarterly profit-share scheme – directly rewards company performance

  * Clear long-term career progression within a growing engineering business

  * Work on innovative, sustainability-driven products

  * High-trust, supportive family-owned culture

  * Direct influence on engineering strategy and future product development

Salary & Benefits

Salary: Negotiable, dependent on experience

25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays

Company pension scheme

Quarterly profit-share bonus

Healthcare cash plan

Sick pay scheme

Employee wellbeing support

Membership discounts

EV salary sacrifice scheme

On-site parking with EV charging points

The Bigger Picture

This role offers more than just a job — it’s a chance to become a senior figure in a forward-thinking engineering business, with the opportunity to shape products that reduce energy usage, carbon impact and operating costs on a global scale
