A specialist engineering consultancy, operating as part of a rapidly expanding international group, is seeking a Senior Design Engineer to join its growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on innovative electro-mechanical products while playing a key role in taking designs from concept through to manufacture and certification.

Working within a close-knit, highly skilled team, you’ll have the chance to make a real impact while benefiting from the backing and global reach of a larger organisation.

The Role

As a Senior Design Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality design solutions and supporting projects across the full product lifecycle. Key responsibilities include:

  * Designing electro-mechanical systems (including switchgear) using 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks

  * Producing detailed manufacturing drawings

  * Conducting simulations (FEA/CFD) using tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and ANSYS

  * Building, testing, and developing prototypes for certification

  * Collaborating with global technical and manufacturing teams

  * Producing and updating technical documentation (installation, operation, and maintenance manuals)

  * Providing technical support across international group companies

  * Occasional international travel to customer and manufacturing sites for support, development, and training

About You

We’re looking for a hands-on, proactive engineer who enjoys seeing designs through from concept to production. You’ll ideally have experience in switchgear or electro-mechanical systems and be comfortable working across both mechanical and electrical disciplines.

You will also have:

  * Minimum 5 years’ experience using 3D CAD in a production environment

  * Strong communication skills (written and verbal)

  * A collaborative approach and ability to work effectively in a team

  * Good working knowledge of Microsoft 365

  * Strong analytical skills, including hand calculations

Desirable Skills

  * SolidWorks (including simulation)

  * AutoCAD (2D electrical layouts and wiring diagrams)

  * ANSYS Maxwell or similar simulation tools

  * Experience with FEA/CFD software

  * Knowledge of international design/testing standards

  * Basic coding or automation skills (macros, microcontrollers, etc.)

  * Practical machining experience

  * Additional languages

What’s on Offer

  * Opportunity to work on global projects with international travel

  * A visible role within a growing business where your contributions matter

  * Clear career progression within a larger group structure

  * Early finish on Fridays
