Factories are automating- and my machinery manufacturing customer has seen the demand for their machines increase significantly, and it's a trend that is set to go on. They are continually being asked to adapt, modify, upgrade, change or widen out their types of machines, to deal with new applications, different customer products.

And that's why I am looking for a new MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER to join the team making those changes.

Each project, each machine order won results in you having to take a standard machine and design some changes- adapt it to the customers'  requirements, speeds, product, and change the sub-assemblies, tooling, fixtures, the way the machine accepts and processes, works with other packaging machinery and conveyors. OK, so it's not reinventing the wheel, or design of a machine from first principles, but it requires a mechanical engineer with a feel for how machinery works to do it. And that- plus some 3D CAD skills - is exactly what we need here.

Solidworks, Creo, Autocad inventor- one of those would be good. Mechanical Design experience, living in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, maybe Milton Keynes, Northamptonshire also works well. And someone who wants to work for a innovative, world leading machinery company with a modern outlook and a friendly face.

You'll get:

• A very good basic salary, a 37 hour week and an early finish Friday
• 33 days holiday, good pension contributions
• Bonus for performance
• The chance to take a machine from start to finish, and the achievement of doing that
• Plus excellent training, in a friendly company, where people stay and get looked after.

Ideal location: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire
