Junior Applications Engineer (Excellent Training and Progression)

29,000 - 35,000 + Hybrid / Remote Working + Paid Overtime + Bonus Scheme + 33 Days Holiday

Redditch - Hybrid / Remote (Commutable from: Bromsgrove, Worcester, Solihull, Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kidderminster, Alcester)

Are you a Junior / Graduate Engineer looking to build specialist design skills, with Hybrid / Remote Working and Paid Overtime on technically interesting tunnel and exterior lighting projects? Do you have a technical engineering background with AutoCAD knowledge and strong Excel skills, and want a role that will develop you long‑term?

This is a permanent position with a well‑established UK lighting manufacturer, offering a clear platform to develop into a true specialist in lighting design and project support. You'll be backed by in‑house training and the resources to grow your knowledge while being trusted with real responsibility from day one.

The business is focused on expanding this division, so you'll be joining a team with momentum and long‑term opportunity. You'll get exposure to varied projects across roads, tunnels and exterior environments, working closely with internal stakeholders and customers as you build your technical capability.

You'll produce lighting designs and reports, create and edit AutoCAD drawings, support quotations and CRM updates, and attend site surveys/meetings/commissioning activity where required.

This role suits a junior engineer motivated by high‑level technical progression and becoming a recognised specialist, rather than staying in a purely routine, same‑task role.

The Role:

• Lighting design / project support for tunnel, handrail and exterior lighting projects (Dialux / Relux / Relux Tunnel where applicable)
• Create / edit drawings and documentation using AutoCAD; produce design reports / proposals and support quotations / CRM updates
• Hybrid / remote with site visits for surveys/meetings/commissioning; some unsociable hours (night/weekend) with paid overtime

The Person:

• Junior-level technical engineering background (open to graduates)
• AutoCAD knowledge
• Confident using Excel with strong communication skills

The salary advertised is the bracket available for this position. The actual salary paid will be dependent on your level of experience, qualifications and skill set and will be decided by our client, the employer. Rise are not responsible or liable for any hiring decisions made by the end client.
