Full-Time
Design Engineer
Reports to: Managing Director
Employment Type: 3–5 days per week
About the Role
We are seeking a highly experienced Design Engineer to join our expanding team. This position is suited to an engineer with extensive industrial experience and a strong grounding in engineering fundamentals. Working within a small, fast-moving design team, you will contribute deep practical knowledge, analytical capability, and creative problem-solving skills to complex engineering challenges.

* Mentor and support junior engineers
* Collaborate closely with the Managing Director and wider design team
Essential Requirements
* Degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related scientific discipline (minimum 2:1 or equivalent)
* Extensive post-graduate industrial experience in engineering design
* Strong grounding in core engineering fundamentals and applied mathematics
* Demonstrable ability to translate theory into practical engineering solutions
* Experience working in industrial or manufacturing environments
* Ability to work on-site as part of a collaborative design team
Who This Role May Suit
This role is particularly suited to an experienced engineer or scientist who:
* Enjoys fundamental engineering analysis
* Prefers creative, technically challenging work over administrative or managerial responsibilities
* Values practical engineering judgement
* Wishes to contribute meaningfully within a small, agile organisation
What We Are Not Looking For
