Job Description:

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established engineering business specialising in the design and manufacture of industrial noise control and exhaust treatment systems for power and heavy industrial applications.

Due to continued growth and ongoing business success, the engineering team is expanding with the addition of a Mechanical Design / Drafting Engineer. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior or early-career mechanical engineer looking to develop into a fully-fledged design engineer within a supportive and technically focused environment.

Initially, the role will focus heavily on drafting and supporting the senior engineering team through:

• 3D CAD drafting and drawing updates
• Simple engineering modifications
• Manufacturing drawing creation
• Supporting ongoing engineering projects
• Reducing drafting workload within the team

Over time, the position is designed to evolve into a broader engineering role with increasing responsibility, including:

• Design modifications and engineering calculations
• Customer-facing engineering support
• Ownership of drawing packs and projects
• Design reviews with manufacturing teams
• Engineering change and cost-impact updates

This is a genuine long-term development opportunity within a business where succession planning and future progression are actively recognised.

We are looking for an ambitious and proactive engineer who genuinely enjoys engineering and wants to build a long-term career within a growing business.

• Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering or similar
• 3D CAD experience (Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor or similar)
• Strong engineering fundamentals
• Good communication skills
• Confident and professional approach

• Fabrication or welding exposure
• Sheet metal or rolled/cylindrical product design
• Stainless steel or carbon steel experience
• Manufacturing drawings and drafting standards
• Hands-on engineering mindset

This is a small engineering team where personality and team fit are extremely important.

The business is looking for someone who is:

• Self-motivated
• Eager to learn and progress
• Articulate and personable
• Comfortable communicating with customers and manufacturing teams
• Hands-on and practically minded

This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable and growing engineering business where you can develop from a drafting-focused role into a broader mechanical design engineering position over time. If this role is of interest to you, please click apply today.
