The Role:
Working for a market leading mechanical engineering fabrication and light structural steel manufacturing company that supply into UK and European construction, civil engineering and industrial sectors, as a Mechanical Project Engineer you will play a vital role producing designs, estimates, quotations and CAD drawings for bespoke mechanical projects.

This positon involves using Inventor (CAD) to design complex large projects from quotation stage to designing/client reviews & revisions to final approval drawings, so ideally we are looking for someone with good CAD skills and experience.

Based from the UK Technical HQ in the Eastbourne / East Sussex region, you will work on a variety of projects which are bespoke to customer requirements. With this in mind, you will employ your mechanical engineering awareness and experience, to produce quotations which are fit for spec.

Supporting Project Managers, manufacturing teams and other technical engineering staff, you will be a integral part of the engineering and technical department. This really is an interesting, challenging and progressive project engineering role not to be missed.

You will have experience working with surveys, drawings, quotations, CAD, estimates and project proposals; ideally from within mechanical engineering, steel fabrication or similar related field.

If you are a mechanical project engineer, CAD engineer, design engineer, CAD technician, drawing office professional or mechanically biased engineer with experience in fabrication, light structures or similar, this really is the one job you CAN'T MISS.
