There s also scope to develop beyond component–level design intowider vehicle systems and project engineering responsibilities.

We d be particularly interested in speaking with engineers fromyellow goods, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, commercial vehicles, trailers, tankers, specialist vehicles, material handling or other heavy/mobile machinery environments.

What you ll be doing:

• Designing and detailing chassis systems, fabricated structures and mechanical components
• Developing sheet–metal, welded and structural assemblies
• Integrating hydraulic and pneumatic equipment into wider vehicle systems
• Producing 3D CAD models, engineering drawings and accurate BOMs
• Supporting DVP&R, design reviews, prototype builds and product validation
• Applying engineering fundamentals around stress, strain, fatigue, materials, fasteners and tolerances
• Designing with manufacture, assembly, cost, quality and serviceability in mind
• Resolving manufacturing, build and field issues through root–cause analysis
• Working closely with suppliers, manufacturing and cross–functional engineering teams

What we re looking for:

• Mechanical design experience within vehicles, yellow goods, heavy machinery, trailers, tankers or a similar engineered–product environment
• Experience designingfabricated structures, sheet–metal components, brackets or structural assemblies
• Good understanding ofDesign for Manufacture and Assembly
• Ability to produce high–quality technical drawings and BOMs
• HNC, HND, engineering apprenticeship, degree or equivalent practical engineering experience
• Experience using a mainstream 3D CAD package,ideally Solid Edge

Solid Edge experience isn't essential. We're much more interested in your engineering background and what you've actually designed.
