Leading design activities on current and future products.
*
Producing conceptual and detailed 3D designs and manufacturing drawings (SolidWorks or similar).
*
Designing across chassis, suspension, axles, structures and welded fabrications.
*
Supporting prototype builds, validation, testing and continuous improvement.
*
Ensuring designs meet internal standards, regulatory requirements and design-for-manufacture principles.
*
Working closely with manufacturing, purchasing and test teams to ensure smooth product delivery.
*
Playing a key role in new product development and influencing internal engineering processes.

Proven mechanical design experience within one or more of the following:
*
Automotive
*
Trailers & transport

Heavy engineering
*
Agricultural/off-road
*

*
Experience with some or all of the following:
*
Welded fabrications
*
Cast and machined components
*
Hydraulics and mechanical linkages
*
A confident communicator who enjoys taking ownership and driving projects forward.
Why Join?
*
Work on real, physical engineering products - not just conceptual design.
*
A high-impact role with visible influence over design direction and new product development.
*
Stable, growing business with long-term career development.
*
Strong engineering culture with no micromanagement.
