Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer looking to build deep technical expertise in product development? Do you have experience taking products from concept through to production-ready design, with Solid Edge or SolidWorks?

This is a secure, permanent position where you'll be trusted to own engineering design work end-to-end, while being properly supported by an established technical team and strong company benefits package.

*Mechanical Design Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer/ Production Engineer / Development Engineer
*Developing new and existing products
*Concept to Completion
*Working within Engineering team
*Working with a team to resolve process issues and identify areas for improvement
