Mechanical Design Engineer

Join a specialist infrastructure engineering company and help deliver innovative mechanical solutions for major projects.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to join a dynamic team, producing practical and efficient designs for bespoke mechanical and structural applications used across the infrastructure sector.

• Take ownership of designs from concept through to installation, ensuring they are robust, manufacturable, and compliant with relevant standards. This is a hands‑on engineering role with a strong emphasis on hand calculations, fabrication awareness, and close collaboration with workshop and site teams.
• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies from cradle to grave.
• Perform hand calculations (stress, bolted & welded joints, load assessments) to validate designs.
• Produce and review technical drawings and 3D models using CAD (Solid Works, Inventor, AutoCAD).
• Liaise with fabrication teams to ensure designs are practical and weldable.
• Apply relevant BS, EN, Eurocode, and ISO standards.
• Provide technical support to project managers, fabricators, and installation teams.
• Ensure compliance with quality, safety, and environmental requirements.

• Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering.
• Proven experience in mechanical design engineering.
• Strong competence in manual hand calculations.
• Solid understanding of welding principles and fabrication processes.
• Proficient in CAD (Solid Works preferred).
• Good knowledge of materials, tolerancing, and manufacturing methods.
• Detail-oriented with excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

• Experience in infrastructure or construction engineering.
• Familiarity with FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, Solid Works Simulation).
• 5+ years' experience in an engineering environment.
