Elevation Recruitment Group are working with a leading manufacturing business to recruit a Junior Mechanical Engineer to join their growing engineering team in Nottingham.

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate, apprentice-trained engineer or junior mechanical engineer looking to build a varied career across design, production engineering and toolmaking. You'll join a close-knit engineering team where no two days are the same, gaining exposure from initial product development through to production support and continuous improvement.

If you enjoy a hands-on engineering environment and want to develop your machining and manufacturing skills alongside CAD design, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Junior Mechanical Engineer, you'll split your time between the engineering office, production floor and machine shop, supporting the introduction of new products and improving manufacturing processes.

You'll be involved in:

\n
• Designing jigs, fixtures and production tooling using SolidWorks
\n
• Supporting new product introduction from concept through to production
\n
• Producing manufacturing documentation, work instructions and process information
\n
• Working alongside production teams to trial and introduce new equipment
\n
• Assisting with continuous improvement projects across manufacturing
\n
• Supporting engineering data and production information
\n
• Learning toolmaking techniques within the machine shop
\n
• Manufacturing tooling using engineering drawings and CAD models
\n
• Providing day-to-day engineering support across production
\n

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

\n
• HNC, HND or Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
\n
• Strong CAD skills, ideally using SolidWorks
\n
• A sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles
\n
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
\n
• A proactive attitude and genuine enthusiasm to learn
\n
• Confidence working both independently and within a team
\n
