The Opportunity

An opportunity for a mid to senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join a growing engineering consultancy delivering complex, high-performance systems across defence, aerospace, marine, and automotive sectors.

You’ll initially support a highly regulated programme within a defence-aligned environment, while gaining exposure to a wider portfolio of innovative, technically challenging projects. The role offers a balanced split between hands-on design and project support, working closely with a Principal Design Engineer to deliver robust, real-world solutions.

This is ideal for someone who enjoys both technical design work and involvement in the wider project lifecycle.

  • Work closely with the Principal Design Engineer on technical delivery and project milestones
  • Produce 3D CAD models and detailed drawings using CATIA V5
  • Translate requirements into practical, manufacturable engineering solutions
  • Contribute to design reviews, validation, and continuous improvement activities
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders to support project delivery
  • Assist with planning and coordination of engineering activities

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Skills

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering (1st Class preferred)
  • Experience in mechanical design within a regulated or high-performance environment (e.g. defence, aerospace, marine, or automotive)
  • Strong working knowledge of CATIA V5 (3DExperience beneficial)
  • Solid understanding of mechanisms, materials, and engineering first principles
  • Experience working within a project-driven engineering environment
  • Exposure to pneumatic systems would be advantageous

Profile

  • Operating at a mid–senior level, comfortable taking ownership while supporting senior engineers
  • Strong communicator, able to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams
  • Proactive, organised, and delivery-focused
  • Motivated by a role that combines design engineering with project involvement

Why Apply?

  • Work across defence, aerospace, marine, and automotive projects
