Job Description
What will you be doing
Were looking for a forward-thinking Mechanical Engineer with a strong foundation in mechanical design ideally within a heavy manufacturing or safety-critical environment. This role is suited for an engineer who thrives on critical thinking and technical problem-solving and who values underpinning design decisions with rigorous analysisnot just CAD output.
Your main responsibilities will be:
In this hands-on design and analysis role youll play a key part in shaping complex mechanical systems. Your ability to produce and validate engineering calculations (by hand and using tools such as Mathcad) will be critical in ensuring designs are both robust and justifiable. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team applying engineering fundamentals to optimise designs and support the wider mechanical engineering function.
- Develop and validate mechanical designs for heavy-duty applications
- Perform detailed hand calculations and use Mathcad for verification
- Provide critical analysis to support design decisions with sound engineering principles
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimise solutions and share technical knowledge
- Support the continuous improvement of engineering tools methods and processes
- Produce technical reports and documentation to support design justifications
Who are we looking for
Although CAD experience is beneficial its not the primary focus of this role. Were looking for a Mechanical Engineer who brings a strong foundation in design theory and analytical thinkingsomeone who understands not just how to design a system but why that design works best.
- Proven ability to carry out first-principles engineering analysis and hand calculations
- Experience with Mathcad or similar tools for structured calculations
- Sound knowledge of mechanical systems and design for safety integrity and performance
You are...
- Passionate about engineering
- result-oriented
- proactive
Qualifications :
Experience skills and qualifications required:
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline
- Strong background in heavy manufacturing or high-integrity industries (e.g. nuclear energy defence industrial)
- Proficient in first-principles engineering and hand calculations
- Experience using Mathcad (or similar) for structured engineering analysis
- Good understanding of mechanical components stress analysis materials and design integrity
- Knowledge of relevant design codes safety standards or nuclear/regulated industry practices (desirable)
- Comfortable working in a collaborative team environment with minimal reliance on CAD
- Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication for technical documentation and reporting
