Description:
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
