Job description

Bored of tweaking designs that never make it past PowerPoint?

Yeah, thought so. If you're a Mechanical Design Engineer who wants to actually build something real, not just feed the endless CAD loop, this one s worth your attention.

This is concept-to-reality stuff.
You'll take rough ideas, scribbles, and specs, and turn them into robust, automated machines that make the physical world tick. We re talking full ownership from napkin sketch to commissioning - mechanical systems that actually move, do stuff, and get used.

The company?
They're a sharp bunch working at the cutting edge of Industrial Automation. Think smart machinery for high-stakes manufacturing environments - medical, life sciences, and other sectors where downtime costs serious cash. No fluff, no buzzwords. Just clever machines that solve real problems.

What s in it for you?

• Full remote flexibility (yep, 100% WFH if that s your jam)

• A blank sheet of paper on a lot of projects - real design freedom

• You ll work directly with the engineering leadership, not through five layers of red tape

• Innovation-led environment - if it s smart and it works, they ll back it

You ll fit in if:

• You ve built special purpose machinery or complex assemblies before

• Your happy place is in early-stage design and concept development

• You can handle the odd curveball and still hit the deadline

• You like autonomy and hate micromanagement

• You ve got SolidWorks muscle memory and a brain that loves problem-solving

No suit, no nonsense.
Just real engineering with purpose and a team that trusts you to crack on.
