Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Location: Lancashire Salary: 45,000 - 55,000 DOE
Job Type: Permanent

I’m currently recruiting for an established engineering and manufacturing business looking to appoint a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to strengthen its engineering team.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys taking ownership of projects and designing bespoke machinery and automated equipment from concept through to manufacture and installation.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

• Designing bespoke mechanical machinery and equipment using 3D CAD
• Producing detailed manufacturing drawings, assemblies and BOMs
• Developing designs from initial concept through to manufacture
• Working closely with manufacturing, fabrication and assembly teams
• Carrying out design calculations and selecting appropriate components
• Supporting projects through build, testing and commissioning
• Providing technical input and guidance to other engineers
• Identifying opportunities to improve existing machinery and designs

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Strong Mechanical Design Engineering experience within manufacturing, machinery or automation
• Experience designing special-purpose machinery, automated equipment, conveyors, processing or packaging machinery
• Strong 3D CAD capability
• Good understanding of fabrication, machining and manufacturing processes
• Experience taking mechanical designs from concept through to production
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple engineering projects
• HNC/HND/Degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established engineering business where you’ll work on bespoke, technically interesting machinery rather than repetitive product design.
