Key Responsibilities

Contribute to the mechanical design of ride systems, gating systems and specialist attraction equipment from concept through to production release.
Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies and manufacturing drawings to high‑precision standards (SolidWorks preferred).
Apply engineering calculations, tolerance analysis and design-for-manufacture principles to ensure robust, safe and compliant designs.
Work closely with fabrication, machining, electrical and installation teams to ensure seamless integration and build quality.
Support prototype development, testing and validation within our on‑site facilities.
Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments and continuous improvement initiatives.
Provide technical input to refurbishment and upgrade projects for existing ride systems.
Liaise with project team and clients to translate creative concepts into engineered solutions.

About You

1-2 years experience in mechanical design or CAD Technician, ideally within machinery, automation, special-purpose equipment, or other safety‑critical systems.
1 year+ Experience in SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software.
Confident producing detailed manufacturing drawings and BOMs.
Basic understanding of fabrication, machining, welding and assembly processes.
Practical, hands‑on approach with strong problem‑solving capability.
Good communication skills and the ability to engage with internal teams.

Why Garmendale

Work on globally recognised ride systems for major theme parks and attractions.
Join a company with a reputation for engineering excellence, rigorous safety standards, and high‑quality manufacturing.
Be part of a collaborative, skilled engineering team where your designs directly shape real‑world attractions.
Enjoy a varied role spanning new product development, bespoke engineering, installation support and lifecycle improvements.
Opportunities for professional growth as we expand our design and engineering capability.
