Senior Mechanical Design Engineer - Heavy Industrial Equipment

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Heavy Industrial Equipment

Heavy Engineering | Stress Analysis | 3D CAD

We are recruiting an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering team designing heavy‑duty industrial mechanical equipment used in demanding environments
.

This role is ideal for a hands‑on mechanical engineer with strong fundamentals in mechanical design, stress calculations and heavy machinery
.

You will play a key role in the design and development of large mechanical components and assemblies
, ensuring designs are robust, manufacturable and capable of operating in high‑load industrial applications.

• Minimum 5+ years' experience in mechanical design engineering
• Experience designing industrial machinery or heavy mechanical equipment
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals
• Ability to perform manual stress and load calculations
• Strong experience using 3D CAD for mechanical design
• Experience producing detailed manufacturing drawings and assemblies

Heavy engineering

• Industrial machinery
• Rotating equipment
• Mining equipment
• Marine engineering
• Power transmission
• Materials handling
• Power generation

• Designing industrial mechanical components and assemblies
• Producing 3D CAD models and detailed engineering drawings
• Carrying out stress, load and strength calculations
• Designing for manufacture, reliability and performance
• Supporting product development and engineering improvements
• Working closely with manufacturing and engineering teams

CAD systems used include NX, Inventor and AutoCAD
.

This is an on‑site engineering role within a manufacturing and engineering environment.

Engineers are expected to be comfortable working on‑site five days per week
, collaborating closely with production and engineering teams.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK
.

Unfortunately visa sponsorship is not available
, therefore candidates requiring sponsorship cannot be considered.

• Graduate or junior engineers with limited industry experience
• Candidates with CAD‑only backgrounds without mechanical engineering analysis experience
• Engineers from consumer product, plastics or light product design industries
• Candidates requiring UK visa sponsorship

This is an opportunity to work on real mechanical engineering challenges
, designing robust equipment used in demanding industrial environments
