• Sound knowledge of Solidworks 3D CAD (specifically weldments, sheet metal and drawings)

• Understanding of BOMS, Production Routing & MRP systems would be advantageous

As the Design Engineer, you will be comfortable designing simple steel and timber structures, with an aspiration to develop and integrate into the R&D team.

Working with the Group Senior Design Engineer the key deliverables of this position will be, but are not limited to:

• Creation of manufacturing/engineering drawings for production including GA and production drawings, installation details and technical specifications.

• A methodical, well-researched and pragmatic approach to engineering.
• A multidisciplinary approach, as products are typically required to be structural and mechanically resolved as well as ergonomic and visually on-trend.
• Able to continually challenge what we call “standard” with intelligent data-led counter-proposals.

Having some or all of the above will be advantageous.

In return you will benefit from:

• Support from experienced design, manufacturing and procurement teams
