Job Description

Youre not just designing machines; youre solving problems. Youre the brain behind the design, the one who takes a customers challenge & turns it into a working machine. You have the ability to blend the creative, open-minded conceptual work with the precision, accuracy and eye for detail of the finished result. As Design Engineer, youll take a customer spec and build a solution from the ground up. Youll create the concept, map out how it works mechanically, model it in Inventor, and carry it through to full design. These are large, complex handling systems, built for tough environments, often offshore, and each one is different. Youll work across long-running, technically detailed projects, alongside a team of 8 other Design Engineers, in a business founded and run by Engineers. This isnt fast turnaround or minor tweaks. As Design Engineer, youll have time to do the job properly, with support from experienced colleagues and the autonomy to take ownership of your designs. Stress analysis, structural integrity, FEA, tolerances, pipeworkthis is engineering with depth. And if something doesnt quite land on the shopfloor, youll be involved in the fix, not blamed for it, thats the kind of team youll be part of here. Youll need to bring a solid background in heavy industry: machinery, machine tools, or larger-scale equipment where hand calculations, stress loading, and in-depth FEA arent just nice-to-haves, theyre part of your day-to-day thinking. If youre coming in at senior level, youll be someone who doesnt just know this stuff, you live it. Youre the go-to for deeper engineering conversations, able to guide, mentor and support others in the team on stress, FEA, and structural integrity, while still getting stuck into the hands-on design work yourself.

As Design Engineer, youll work alongside others who bring different areas of expertise. You wont be left to figure it out alone, but you wont be micromanaged either. The engineering team is close-knit, practical, and up for sharing knowledge. If you value being hands-on and having real input, youll fit right in. Youll be based on-site in Telford, with the occasional visit to suppliers or customers when needed. The setup is compact, no layers of red tape, just people who want to build great machines and do the job properly.
