Overview

Location: Liskeard
Start Date: From September 2025

Our client is a fast growing and innovative environment on the lookout for a Manufacturing Design Engineer who is not only technically sharp, but also forward-thinking, open-minded, and thrives in a dynamic, ever-evolving environment.

If you're someone who gets excited by new ideas, challenges the norm, and sees innovation as a daily opportunity—not a rare event—you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Translate orders and quotations into accurate, high-quality technical drawings and specifications
• Rapidly schedule and when needed, re-schedule design work to meet tight production deadlines
• Collaborate daily with your fellow design team members to prioritise tasks and solve challenges
• Carry out internal QA reviews to ensure designs meet our technical and business expectations
• Organise and maintain clean, clear design records and documentation
• Minimise rework and waste, while actively learning from outcomes and contributing to continuous improvement
• Keep leadership informed of any issues or delays before they become problems

What You'll Bring

• Ability to work swiftly and decisively when fast-turnaround design work is needed
• Comfort juggling a few projects at once and contributing ideas to keep evolving our product range
• Anticipate and identify design issues before they affect production
• Strong, respectful communicator who believes in building one team across departments
• Confidence to speak up, share ideas, and challenge constructively
• Drive to deliver results and improve systems along the way
• A passion for learning and innovation in a fast-moving, successful business

Experience and Qualifications required

• Degree in Manufacturing Engineering or similar qualification
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, Inventor or Catia
• Familiarity with MRP/ERP systems and CNC integration
• Experience with fabrication, moulding, casting, surface treatment or finishing
• Marine industry background (a plus, but not essential)

Not your average manufacturer. Our client values initiative, collaboration, curiosity, and people who aren't afraid to push boundaries.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a graduate with the right mindset, we want to hear from you.
