• Interest in precision systems, bespoke variations and custom engineering solutions is a plus — we value designers who can think beyond standard catalogue products.

• A proactive, hands‑on mindset: seeing problems, proposing improvements, and willing to engage with manufacturing realities and customer feedback.

This Design Engineer working environment, benefits & rewards:

• Working for a global manufacturing business with an excellent reputation as a good employer in the Bourne area.

• A very clean, modern facility, the working environment is excellent.

• Excellent length of tenure across the business, stable and progressive company culture.
