I am working closely with my Surrey-based client, a leading designer and manufacturer of specialist safety equipment for hazardous area electrical equipment serving a global client base across a range of industries, to find an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join their in-house Engineering Team. This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their core product ranges, integrating technological developments, responding to an ever-evolving regulatory environment, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs means that your ideas will turn into a reality. Their site in Sunbury is easily reached by both road (2 minutes from the M3) and public transport (few minutes walk from Kempton Park train station) where they have in-house design, fabrication and testing facilities. After initial training, you can work up to 2 days per week from home in a hybrid role or be fully site-based.

You will also be involved in designing modifications to existing products suit specific customer requirements as well as bespoke solutions involving the design of sheet metal enclosures, location and routing of pneumatic and basic electrical systems, and providing technical support throughout the production and compliance testing processes. In return they are willing to pay an attractive salary for the right candidate which will be negotiable based on experience, together with a personalised induction and personal development plan, and clear career progression pathway within the company in the future. For a more experienced applicant they can take you on as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer and, in time, you will provide leadership to others within the Engineering Team. Applications are invited from experienced Mechanical Design Engineers, Mechanical Designers, Industrial Designers, and Product Designers with the following attributes: Experience of sheet metal design and sheet metal manufacturing processes Knowledge and experience of pneumatics will be very advantageous Successfully completed full lifecycle of products from concept through to final design and production Confident users of Solidworks, in particular for use with sheet metal design Ability to read and produce engineering drawings Previous experience of precision engineering design and fabrication for the pharmaceutical industry is desirable but not essential, as is previous experience of designing products for hazardous areas (i.e. ATEX) or industries with high levels of compliance. Full training on the latter will be provided as their solutions are used globally and as such need to meet region-specific legislation and standards. We are keen to find mechanical engineers with a real passion for fine detail and a completer-finisher approach to design. You will need to be self-motivated to solve problems independently as well as the ability work within a technical team, and be comfortable working on several projects simultaneously.
