Job Description

Tired of designing kit that never leaves the drawing board?


You know how it goes - weeks of modelling, refinement, reviews… then the project quietly dies because someone changed their mind or kicked it into “phase two” limbo. All that effort, wasted.


Here’s what’s different:

They actually build what you design. Proper engineering, proper output. This is a good old-fashioned British engineering business where everything’s done in-house - design, manufacture, assembly, test. No layers of corporate nonsense, no watching your work disappear into a void.


The reality:

You’ll be designing full systems - special purpose machinery, lifting solutions, bespoke engineered equipment. SolidWorks is your daily tool. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the workshop, electrical, and production teams to get things built right. Expect real engineering challenges, not endless status meetings.


What you get:

  • £40,000 - £45,000 + excellent benefits
  • Full project ownership
  • A stable, established engineering business that backs its people
  • A workshop on-site, so you can actually see your designs come to life
  • Genuine variety - every project is different


You’ll love this if you:

  • Want your designs built, not buried
  • Prefer hands-on engineering over corporate ceremony
  • Have SolidWorks experience and can turn ideas into manufacturable reality
  • Enjoy solving real-world problems with practical constraints
  • Like working somewhere where common sense actually wins


Based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
