Mechanical Design Engineer - Bespoke Machinery Opportunity for Hybrid Working
Poole £40,000-, £48,000 (DOE) Permanent
If you're a Mechanical Design Engineer who enjoys variety, ownership, and seeing your designs actually built, this role offers something a bit different.
We're supporting a well-established engineering company in Poole that designs and builds special purpose machinery. Due to continued growth, they're looking to add another engineer to their close-knit team.
You'll be involved from concept through to build, install, and beyond.
What you'll be doing:
• Designing mechanical components, assemblies and full machines (SolidWorks)
• Working on bespoke, one-off projects, not repeat production work
• Taking ownership of projects from concept through to completion
• Collaborating with electrical and automation engineers
• Getting involved in problem-solving, improvements, and practical engineering decisions
What they're looking for:
• Experience in mechanical design (machinery, automation, or similar)
• Strong 3D CAD skills (SolidWorks ideal, but open)
• Someone who enjoys hands-on, project-based work
• Able to manage multiple projects and adapt as things evolve
• A practical mindset, someone who likes to see things work in real life
Why this role stands out:
• Every project is different, no repetitive design work
• You'll see your designs built, installed and in action
• Supportive, down-to-earth team
• Stable, growing business with long-term security
• Hybrid working (typically 1 day from home once settled)
• Real input into designs, your ideas won't be lost
If you're starting to feel your current role is a bit repetitive, or you're looking for more ownership and variety, this is well worth exploring.
