Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer looking for an exciting challenge as a senior member of a team designing complex, special purpose manufacturing machinery? Do you want the opportunity to join a progressive and adaptive company as part of a rapidly growing team where you will have autonomy to innovate?

Based in South Wales, this company is one of the fastest growing manufacturers in the UK and has been consistent in its success since the start. Having won multiple awards and achieved international recognition for its unique and innovative products, the company has recently experienced an exciting period of growth. As part of the in‑house design team you will work on the machinery for its South Wales factory and will be involved in future projects to establish new manufacturing facilities overseas.

The Role: Design and optimisation of bespoke manufacturing equipment and production lines. Senior engineer in an experienced multi‑disciplinary team. Involved in projects from concept to commissioning.

The Person: Complex mechanical design background. Knowledge of a 3D CAD package – Solid Works would be ideal. Experience of complex, bespoke machinery development. Familiarity with machinery safety regulations, CE Marking, P&I‑D, GD & T, BS8888, ISO 12100, pressure systems, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, manufacturing line design, Cap Ex, nuclear, military, waste, recycling, steel and conveyor systems.

You will be involved in full lifecycle design, including specification, concept generation, detail development, procurement, build, installation and commissioning support. You will maximise reliability and quality of the production line whilst ensuring conformity with machinery safety regulations. The company utilises Solid Works, so a strong background with this package would be beneficial, although other similar 3D CAD software would also be suitable.

You will have the opportunity to work with and mentor more junior members of the team and graduate engineers.

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
