What You’ll Be Doing:

Producing 2D layout and service access diagrams for machinery and systems

Updating and maintaining mechanical design documents throughout projects

Conducting or supporting site surveys and translating site data into layout plans

Assisting project managers and customers with technical queries during planning and assembly

Collaborating with electrical and automation teams to ensure system alignment

Using AutoCAD, Inventor, and Vault to manage design files and drawings

Working to BS 8888 standards for technical drawing and documentation

What We’re Looking For:

Level 3 qualification or higher in Mechanical, Electrical or Mechatronics Engineering

Proficient with AutoCAD (2D essential, 3D a bonus)

Strong understanding of mechanical layouts (e.g. conveyors, airflow systems, bearings, or belt mechanisms)

Experience working on production machinery or capital equipment layouts

Comfortable interpreting and producing technical drawings and schematics

Good attention to detail and ability to maintain drawing accuracy across project stages

Nice to Have (But Not Essential):

Familiarity with Vault and/or Inventor

Experience supporting installation or commissioning projects

Exposure to regulated sectors (e.g. pharma, explosive environments)

What’s In It For You?

Salary between £40,000 and £45,000 (DOE)

Discretionary Christmas bonus

23 days holiday + 2 discretionary days + bank holidays (includes Christmas shutdown)

Pension (up to 8.5% after 2 years), life insurance, private healthcare, disability cover

Flexible working hours: core hours 09:00–12:30 and 14:00–16:00 with a 37.5-hour week

Supportive training and development environment, including specialist machinery knowledge

This is an excellent opportunity to join a technically diverse and collaborative engineering team. If you're looking to apply your mechanical layout expertise in a varied, real-world design environment — we’d love to hear from you.
