Job description

As a Senior Design Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality design solutions and supporting projects across the full product lifecycle. Key responsibilities include:

· Designing electro-mechanical systems (including switchgear) using 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks

· Producing detailed manufacturing drawings

· Conducting simulations (FEA/CFD) using tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and ANSYS

· Building, testing, and developing prototypes for certification

· Collaborating with global technical and manufacturing teams

· Producing and updating technical documentation (installation, operation, and maintenance manuals)

· Providing technical support across international group companies

· Occasional international travel to customer and manufacturing sites for support, development, and training

Requirements

We’re looking for a hands-on, proactive engineer who enjoys seeing designs through from concept to production. You’ll ideally have experience in switchgear or electro-mechanical systems and be comfortable working across both mechanical and electrical disciplines.

You will also have:

· Minimum 5 years’ experience using 3D CAD in a production environment

· Strong communication skills (written and verbal)

· A collaborative approach and ability to work effectively in a team

· Good working knowledge of Microsoft 365

  • Strong analytical skills, including hand calculations

Desirable Skills

· SolidWorks (including simulation)

· AutoCAD (2D electrical layouts and wiring diagrams)

· ANSYS Maxwell or similar simulation tools

· Experience with FEA/CFD software

· Knowledge of international design/testing standards

· Basic coding or automation skills (macros, microcontrollers, etc.)

· Practical machining experience

Benefits & conditions

· Opportunity to work on global projects with international travel

· A visible role within a growing business where your contributions matter

· Clear career progression within a larger group structure

· Early finish on Fridays

If you’re an engineer who enjoys a hands-on approach and wants to be part of a growing international business, this could be an excellent next step in your career.
