Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Derbyshire
£65,000 - £75,000 (DOE)
Hybrid Working | 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
The company:
Our client is a leading engineering business specialising in providing cutting-edge solutions across multiple sectors, including Gas Turbines, Acoustics, Nuclear, Defence, and Renewables. Their engineering team offers end-to-end support, from conceptual design to detailed manufacturing and installation.
With a global presence, they supply innovative systems including exhausts, ventilation, and acoustic solutions to industries such as petrochemical, aerospace, and civil engineering. As they expand their operations and take on new global projects, they are seeking a Senior Design Engineer to join their team and support this exciting period of growth.
The Role
As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will play a key technical role within the design department, taking ownership of complex engineering projects while providing technical guidance and support to other members of the team.
Working on bespoke engineered products, you will be involved throughout the complete design lifecycle, from concept generation and engineering calculations through to detailed manufacturing drawings, technical approvals and customer interaction.
Your responsibilities will include:
Designing bespoke mechanical equipment and fabricated systems
Producing detailed 3D CAD models and manufacturing drawings using Inventor
Performing engineering calculations including structural, mechanical and stress analysis
Producing technical reports and engineering documentation
Attending customer meetings and carrying out site surveys
Acting as a technical signatory, checking and approving engineering deliverables
Leading projects from concept through to manufacture and installation
Mentoring and supporting junior engineers
Liaising with customers, suppliers and subcontractors throughout project delivery
Supporting manufacturing and installation teams with technical expertise
The role offers a varied split between CAD design, engineering calculations, customer interaction and project leadership, with approximately 60% of your time spent producing 3D designs.
What We're Looking For
The successful candidate will have a strong technical background and be comfortable taking ownership of complex engineering projects within a heavy engineering environment.
We're particularly interested in candidates who have:
Previous experience using a 3D CAD package (Inventor preferred, although similar packages will be considered)
Experience designing bespoke mechanical equipment or fabricated structures
A background within heavy engineering, industrial machinery, process plant or similar industries
Strong engineering calculation and problem-solving skills
Experience leading technical projects and mentoring other engineers
The confidence to work directly with customers and provide technical guidance
Excellent communication and organisational skills
A proactive attitude with the ability to work independently
Experience within acoustics, noise control or highly regulated industries would be advantageous but is by no means essential.
The Benefits
Competitive salary of £65,000 - £75,000 depending on experience
Hybrid working (4 days office / 1 day home)
Monday-Friday working hours
25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
Opportunity to work on technically challenging, bespoke engineering projects
High level of technical autonomy and responsibility
Stable, well-established business with an excellent industry reputation
Supportive engineering environment with long-term career stability
How to Apply
If you're an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer looking to work on technically challenging projects within a highly respected engineering business, we'd love to hear from you.
Please send your CV to Matt Taylor at or call (phone number removed) for a confidential discussion.
