Fed up with designing brilliant solutions that disappear into procurement hell?

Here's what's different: Your designs actually get manufactured. You'll control projects from initial brief through to final installation, building direct relationships with suppliers who'll turn your concepts into reality. No design review committees or endless revisions - just proper engineering that delivers results.

The reality: You're the technical lead on multiple projects, handling everything from 3D modelling through to budget management. Expect hands-on CAD work in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, creating manufacturing drawings that actually get used, and coordinating with suppliers to solve real engineering challenges. You'll manage timelines, track costs, and report directly to senior management.

What you get:

Complete technical ownership of diverse projects

Direct influence over supplier selection and specifications

Responsibility for project budgets and commercial decisions

Access to current design software and project management tools

Structured ISO9001 processes that support quality work

Variety across different engineering disciplines

You'll love this if you:

Thrive on seeing projects through to completion

Can balance technical excellence with commercial awareness

Enjoy coordinating multiple stakeholders without micromanagement

Have proven expertise in both SolidWorks and AutoCAD

Want genuine responsibility rather than just following instructions

Location: Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
