We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering business designing and manufacturing bespoke high–pressure testing systems, pressure vessels and pressure control equipment. This role will be responsible for developing innovative mechanical designs, producing large assembly models and supporting projects from concept through to manufacture within a technically challenging engineering environment.
This position would suit a Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in pressure vessel design, special purpose machinery or high–pressure systems who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges. It will appeal to someone who is confident working directly with customers, collaborating across multiple departments and taking ownership of engineering solutions from initial design through to delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Design bespoke pressure vessels, pressure testing equipment and associated mechanical systems using SolidWorks
Produce detailed 2D and 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings and technical documentation
Perform engineering calculations and ensure designs comply with PED/PESR requirements and recognised pressure vessel standards
Liaise with customers, sales, procurement and manufacturing teams throughout the project lifecycle
Support design reviews, technical problem solving and continuous improvement initiatives across engineering projects
Applicants should have strong experience using SolidWorks and a good understanding of pressure vessel design standards such as PD5500, EN13445 or ASME Section VIII. Experience with FEA and ANSYS would be highly advantageous.
In return you'll receive a salary up to 55k, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, up to 10% annual bonus based on company performance and a 37.5–hour working week with an early finish on Fridays.
