JUST FINISHED YOUR DEGREE — OR GOT A YEAR OR TWO OF DESIGN EXPERIENCE UNDER YOUR BELT?
LOOKING FOR A ROLE WHERE YOU’LL ACTUALLY DESIGN, NOT JUST SIT IN FRONT OF CAD ALL DAY?
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Graduate or Junior Design Engineer to join a growing New Product Development team within a well-established manufacturing business operating in the healthcare sector.
You’ll be supported by experienced engineers and exposed to the full product lifecycle — from initial concepts and 3D modelling through to testing, refinement and manufacture. It’s a hands-on role with genuine progression for someone keen to learn and develop their engineering career.
The role includes:
· Supporting the design and development of new products for international markets (including the US)
· Creating and modifying 3D models using SolidWorks
· Assisting with product drawings, specifications and technical documentation
· Supporting product testing and validation activities and making design amendments
· Working closely with manufacturing, quality and operations teams
· Gaining exposure to regulated product design within a healthcare environment
· Occasional overseas collaboration as your experience develops
What we’re looking for:
· A degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design or a related discipline
· Graduate-level candidates or those with 1–2 years’ design engineering experience
· Some experience using SolidWorks (academic or commercial)
· A practical, hands-on mindset with an interest in seeing designs beyond CAD
· Strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn
· Good communication skills and a positive, team-focused attitude
Why join?
· Salary of £30,000 – £35,000 depending on experience
· Structured support and development from experienced engineers
· Exposure to full lifecycle product design
· Some flexibility with working hours, but generally earlier start/finish
· Company pension scheme
· 25 days holiday + bank holidays
· Clear progression opportunities as the team continues to grow
This role is being handled by Emily Powell and Sammy Messenger, Manufacturing, Engineering & Technical Specialist at Pearson Whiffin Recruitment.
