Mechanical Design Engineer

A successful and growing engineering manufacturer based in the East Yorkshire area is looking to recruit a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their established design office.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Graduate or Junior Mechanical Design Engineer who wants to build long–term technical capability within a supportive, professional engineering environment. The business offers structured development, exposure to real–world manufacturing and the chance to work alongside experienced mechanical, electrical and software engineers.

With a half day Friday finish and a strong people–first culture, this role offers genuine work–life balance alongside career development.

As Mechanical Design Engineer, you will support the design team across a range of mechanical engineering activities, contributing to the development, production and support of engineered products.

• Producing and checking mechanical component and assembly drawings
• Supporting manufacturing and assembly with accurate technical documentation
• Working closely with electrical design and software teams to ensure designs meet project and customer requirements
• Providing technical support to production, service teams, subcontractors and suppliers
• Assisting with design changes, revisions and continuous improvement activities
• Maintaining accurate records and documentation within the design office
• Occasional travel to other UK sites, suppliers or customer locations when required

This role is primarily office–based and offers hands on exposure to the full product lifecycle.

This role would suit a Graduate Mechanical Engineer or Junior Mechanical Design Engineer who is looking to develop their skills within a structured design environment.

We would be keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:

• A degree, HNC/HND or apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
• Some experience or understanding of mechanical design, assembly or manufacturing environments
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings
• A methodical approach with strong attention to detail
• Confidence working both independently and as part of a wider engineering team
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn

Experience with 2D and 3D CAD software would be beneficial, but full training and support will be provided.

• Competitive salary depending on experience
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Half day finish every Friday
• Structured training and development within a professional design office
• Supportive, employee focused culture
• Long term career progression opportunities

The role is based in the East Yorkshire area and is easily commutable from Driffield, Beverley, Bridlington, Malton and surrounding locations.
