Poole Competitive Salary Permanent

Exclusive role with a growing engineering business

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer who loves solving complex problems and bringing bespoke machinery to life? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a stable, long-standing engineering company where you'll work on genuinely interesting projects from concept through to completion.

My client is expanding due to continued growth and is looking for a hands-on, creative engineer to join their close-knit design team.

• Designing mechanical components, assemblies, and mechanisms for custom-built machinery
• Taking ownership of projects from initial concept through to production, installation, and after-support
• Working closely with electrical and automation engineers to deliver fully integrated solutions
• Producing high-quality 3D CAD models and drawings (Solid Works)
• Supporting continuous improvement, product development, and innovation
• Providing practical engineering input throughout the full lifecycle

• Experience in mechanical design for special purpose machinery, automation, robotics, or industrial equipment
• Strong 3D CAD skills (Solid Works preferred, but similar packages considered)
• Confident working on bespoke, one-off or low-volume engineered solutions
• Able to manage multiple projects and adapt to changing priorities
• A collaborative mindset with excellent attention to detail

• Work on varied, technically challenging projects - no two days are the same
• Join a well-established, respected engineering business with long-term stability
• Be part of a supportive, friendly team where your ideas are valued
• Genuine opportunity to influence design decisions and see your work come to life

If you're a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys variety, autonomy, and hands-on engineering, we'd love to hear from you.
