We are seeing a period of exceptional growth in our mechanical engineering team at the moment in response to a wide range of exciting long-term project requests from clients in all four of our market sectors.
As a result, we are able to offer exciting career opportunities for outstanding senior mechanical engineers with extensive product development experience as part of our growing, dynamic technical team.
You will get the chance to manage and work alongside other outstanding individuals, taking a technical lead role on a diverse range of exciting and challenging projects, from well-known consumer products, novel transport solutions to safety critical medical devices knowing that with your input you can make a real difference to people’s lives.
We operate in multi-functional project teams and our mechanical engineers need to work closely with designers, electronics, software engineers and other skill teams to integrate the visual and functional aspects of a product to create class-leading designs.
The vast majority of the products we design go to market and are highly visible; it’s great to see the products you have helped design being successful and improving people’s lives.
