Design Engineer

Marshall Harmony; Greater London; On-site; GBP 50,000 - 55,000; Full time

Job description

You re not just designing machines; you re solving problems.

You re the brain behind the design, the one who takes a customer s challenge & turns it into a working machine.
You have the ability to blend the creative, open-minded conceptual work with the precision, accuracy and eye for detail of the finished result.
As Design Engineer, you ll take a customer spec and build a solution from the ground up. You ll create the concept, map out how it works mechanically, model it in Inventor, and carry it through to full design. These are large, complex handling systems, built for tough environments, often offshore, and each one is different.

You ll work across long-running, technically detailed projects, alongside a team of 8 other Design Engineers, in a business founded and run by Engineers. This isn t fast turnaround or minor tweaks. As Design Engineer, you ll have time to do the job properly, with support from experienced colleagues and the autonomy to take ownership of your designs.
Stress analysis, structural integrity, FEA, tolerances, pipework this is engineering with depth.
And if something doesn t quite land on the shopfloor, you ll be involved in the fix, not blamed for it, that s the kind of team you ll be part of here.

What s in it for you as Design Engineer?

1. A wide range of projects significant diversity of technology and application
2. Structured hours, early Friday finish, no long shifts or late nights
3. Work that s challenging but achievable with space to think, and support when you need it
4. Direct contact with the shopfloor, service team, suppliers and sales you ll see the full picture
5. Real scope to grow, this role is designed to move into a lead position over time
6. An employee-owned business where engineers still shape the future and share in the profits

As Design Engineer, you ll work alongside others who bring different areas of expertise. You won t be left to figure it out alone, but you won t be micromanaged either.
The engineering team is close-knit, practical, and up for sharing knowledge. If you value being hands-on and having real input, you ll fit right in.
You ll be based on-site in Telford, with the occasional visit to suppliers or customers when needed. The setup is compact, no layers of red tape, just people who want to build great machines and do the job properly.

You ll need:

1. To be experienced in mechanical design, ideally in offshore (we wish), marine or machinery environments would give you enough to hit the ground running.
2. A strong grasp of Inventor 3D, stress analysis and FEA.
3. To feel confident working through calculations, tolerances and production-ready drawings.
4. Curiosity, calm thinking, and the ability to own a design from start to finish.
5. A strong eye for detail and accuracy of the end result, balanced with a creative approach to problem solving. A genuine interest in solving problems through mechanical engineering.

The salary is £50,000 to £55,000. But if you ve got lots of experience in this kind of work, don t rule yourself out, they re building for the long term and looking to strengthen the team.

Monday to Thursday 8am to 4.45pm
Friday 8am to 12pm
33 days holiday including bank holidays
