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

* Creating detailed 2D & 3D designs in SolidWorks

* Producing fully toleranced engineering drawings (GD&T)

* Supporting designs from concept through to manufacture

* Working closely with manufacturing to ensure designs are practical and buildable

* Applying DFM / DFA principles across complex assemblies

* Contributing to design reviews and engineering documentation

✅ What we’re looking for

* 3–5 years in a mechanical design engineering role

* Strong SolidWorks (or similar CAD) experience

* Confident producing high-quality, manufacturing drawings

* Solid understanding of GD&T and tolerancing principles

* Background in heavy engineering / manufacturing / industrial environments

* Exposure to rotating equipment is a bonus

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

🚀 Why apply?

* Work on complex, real-world engineering products

* Highly visible role with impact across design & manufacturing

* Join a business with strong heritage in critical industrial equipment

* Opportunity to deepen expertise in precision engineering & GD&T
