Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer

Luton 3–5+ Years Experience - Hybrid Working (1-2 Days in Office)

We’re hiring a Mechanical Design Engineer to work on heavy industrial equipment used in critical power generation applications for Nuclear, Oil & Gas industries. This is a role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail — producing accurate, manufacturing-ready drawings, not just 3D models as well as be highly involved in solving real world engineering problems.

What you’ll be doing

\n
• Creating detailed 2D & 3D designs in SolidWorks
\n
• Producing fully toleranced engineering drawings (GD&T)
\n
• Supporting designs from concept through to manufacture
\n
• Working closely with manufacturing to ensure designs are practical and buildable
\n
• Applying DFM / DFA principles across complex assemblies
\n
• Contributing to design reviews and engineering documentation
\n

What we’re looking for

\n
• 3–5 years in a mechanical design engineering role
\n
• Strong SolidWorks (or similar CAD) experience
\n
• Confident producing high-quality, manufacturing drawings
\n
• Solid understanding of GD&T and tolerancing principles
\n
• Background in heavy engineering / manufacturing / industrial environments
\n
• Exposure to rotating equipment is a bonus
\n

This role is not FEA-heavy — the focus is on practical design, drawings, and engineering detail

Why apply?

\n
• Work on complex, real-world engineering products
\n
• Highly visible role with impact across design & manufacturing
\n
• Join a business with strong heritage in critical industrial equipment
\n
• Opportunity to deepen expertise in precision engineering & GD&T
\n
