As a Design Engineer with us, you’ll see your ideas go from CAD screen to factory floor in a matter of weeks, giving you the rare opportunity to follow your designs through fabrication, installation, and commissioning. If you’re motivated by real-world impact, variety, and the chance to make a difference in a growing team, this role offers it all.
We design and build automation systems that keep food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production lines running at their best. From high-speed labelling systems to complex conveyor layouts, our work is varied, fast-moving, and always practical.
What You’ll Do
- Design automation systems, with a focus on conveyors and labelling, using CAD or similar tools.
- Develop Bills of Materials (BOMs) for procurement and assembly, keeping everything accurate and organised.
- Prepare technical drawings including fabrication drawings, 3D models, and concept sketches.
- Visit client sites to assess requirements, oversee installations, and validate your designs in action.
- Collaborate with clients, listening to needs, proposing solutions, and guiding technical discussions.
- Work closely with mechanical and electrical colleagues to ensure every design is practical, safe, and ready to build.
- Support project documentation including revisions and quality checks throughout the lifecycle.
What You’ll Bring
Essential:
- Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering (or strong proven experience).
- Experience designing automation equipment (e.g. conveyors, pneumatic systems, or mechanical machinery).
- Hands-on use of CAD in project environments.
- Solid understanding of mechanical and pneumatic principles (materials, tolerances, actuators, etc.).
- Confidence in client-facing tasks, from requirements gathering to technical discussions.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to produce clean, accurate BOMs and documentation.
Desirable:
- Experience with conveyor design or system integration.
- Basic understanding of electrical controls/PLCs to collaborate with peers.
- Awareness of health & safety regulations around mechanical design and installation.
What You’ll Get
- Competitive salary.
- The chance to work on varied, challenging projects with real-world impact.
- Exposure to the full project lifecycle, from concept to commissioning.
- A growing company environment where your input shapes how we work.
