• Experience using 2D and 3D CAD tools
• Understanding of Design for Manufacture / Assembly / Cost / Maintainability principles
• Experience working in a relevant engineering or manufacturing environment
• Ability to interpret technical requirements and develop robust design solutions
• Strong focus on delivery to project milestones and deadlines
• Willingness to continue professional development and progress towards chartership (desirable)

• Salary up to £53,000
