We currently have a range of mechanical engineering vacancies which we’re looking to fill with talented candidates. One of these jobs may be perfectly suited to your experience and skill sets, helping you redefine your career ambitions.

Key Competencies 

Mechanical engineering jobs are extremely diverse but most roles will require you to utilise standard engineering practices. This presents the opportunity to work in a wide variety of roles in a number of different sectors and you can be expected to be involved in all of the stages of product development, or just select processes. This gives mechanical engineers the expertise to be involved in stages such as product research, development and design, manufacturing, installation and final commission.

As most Site Managers will work on projects with a finite lifespan, the role will inevitably mean working in different locations, often determined by the company order book. For example, a Midlands based role might involve working in Oxford, then transferring to Nottingham and then on to Wolverhampton, so a degree of flexibility is required.

Background

Mechanical engineers often work in industries such as manufacturing, power, construction and medical. In terms of product design, you can be expected to produce anything from small componentdesigns to large pieces of machinery.

Required duties may include:

• Creating cost-effective equipment modifications to improve safety, reliability and productivity
• Working with other engineers from different disciplines to creatively problem solve
• Developing, testing and evaluating theoretical designs
• Liaising with clients, suppliers and other departments to solve complex problems
• Ensuring consistency and reliability with created products
• Developing new production/design processes
• Effectively managing elements such as time, safety and cost to deliver projects successfully.
• Using analytical, conceptual and planning skills, particularly mathematical modelling and computer-aided design
• Developing recommendations/modifications based on prototype testing
• Producing details of specifications and outline designs
