The Opportunity

The company designs and manufactures bespoke machinery and special purpose equipment in the UK for customers worldwide and is currently benefiting from continued investment and expansion. This creates an excellent opportunity to join a stable, well-run engineering business at a key stage of growth.
This role would suit an experienced Design Manager, Lead Mechanical Design Engineer, or Senior Mechanical Design Engineer ready to step up into a formal leadership position.
Youll combine hands-on mechanical design leadership with people management, design governance, and continuous improvement across machinery and capital equipment projects.
The Role
