  * Extensive post-graduate industrial experience in engineering design

  * Strong grounding in core engineering fundamentals and applied mathematics

  * Demonstrable ability to translate theory into practical engineering solutions

  * Experience working in industrial or manufacturing environments

  * Ability to work on-site as part of a collaborative design team

Who This Role May Suit

This role is particularly suited to an experienced engineer or scientist who:

  * Enjoys fundamental engineering analysis

  * Prefers creative, technically challenging work over administrative or managerial responsibilities

  * Values practical engineering judgement

  * Wishes to contribute meaningfully within a small, agile organisation
