The Opportunity This is a varied and technically challenging role where you will be responsible for the complete engineering and design lifecycle of bespoke stainless steel process equipment and supporting structures. You will work directly with customers, suppliers and manufacturing teams to transform customer requirements into safe, practical and commercially viable engineering solutions. Projects typically begin as a simple enquiry, customer sketch, process description or operational requirement. You will use your wealth of engineering experience to interpret the brief to develop concepts, create designs and deliver cost-effective, fully engineered manufacturing solutions. Collaborating closely with the customer, suppliers and our manufacturing facilities in Europe, you will take projects from concept through to manufacture and installation. Alongside project delivery, we are looking for someone who can provide technical leadership within the engineering team. You will support and mentor developing engineers, share best practices and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen our engineering capability and standards. This role offers a rare opportunity to combine hands-on engineering, customer engagement and team development within a highly specialised engineering business., * Review customer enquiries, specifications and tender documentation. * Develop concepts and practical engineering solutions from initial customer requirements. * Design layouts for stainless steel vessels, tanks, pressure equipment and process systems. * Produce vessel layouts, equipment arrangements and general arrangement drawings for our draft office to produce the detailed drawings. * Create and develop 2D and 3D CAD designs. * Produce detailed fabrication, manufacturing and assembly drawings. * Design supporting structures including platforms, walkways, ladders and handrails. * Prepare Bills of Materials (BOMs), technical specifications and manufacturing documentation. * Ensure designs comply with relevant standards and customer requirements. * Collaborate with manufacturing teams in the UK and Europe throughout project delivery. * Attend customer and site meetings when required. * Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and technical reviews. * Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to the wider team. * Drive continuous improvement of engineering standards, systems and processes., Work on bespoke engineering projects rather than repetitive production design Direct involvement with customers and key engineering decisions Opportunity to mentor and develop junior engineers Influence engineering standards, design processes and best practices Work closely with experienced manufacturing teams in Germany and Poland Real career progression and leadership opportunities within a growing UK operation Long-term stability from a company with 25 years in the UK and over 50 years of successful trading in Germany ## Related Videos - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [XR Demystified: Separating Facts from Fiction in 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1117-xr-demystified-separating-facts-from-fiction-in-2024) - [TresJS a new declarative ThreeJS as Vue components](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/543-tresjs-a-new-declarative-threejs-as-vue-components) - [WebAssembly Revolution: Elevating JavaScript's Reach and Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1149-webassembly-revolution-elevating-javascript-s-reach-and-performance) - [Google Gemma and Open Source AI Models - Clement Farabet](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1354-google-gemma-and-open-source-ai-models-clement-farabet) - [Cross platform Augmented Reality development with React Native](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/160-cross-platform-augmented-reality-development-with-react-native) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [UK Business Culture and Etiquette](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/326-uk-business-culture-and-etiquette)
