Design Excellence: Design & Develop concepts & Prototypes and feasilbility modelllings.Create and oversee comprehensive part, assembly, and installation drawings. You will be the final gatekeeper for quality, cost, and performance targets.
Leadership & Mentorship: Manage a small team of designers with a dedicated focus on professional development—mentoring them in technical standards, fabrication logic, and industry best practices.
Lifecycle Management: Manage the full design lifecycle—from concept and BOM management to engineering change (ECN) and release workflows.
Production Liaison: Work closely with the Technical Director and the production teams to optimise designs for sheet metal and platework fabrication.
Innovation: Actively research and implement new technologies and "error-proofing" techniques to improve vehicle performance and manufacturability.
Technical Requirements & Mindset
Fabrication Expertise: A heavy-duty background in sheet metal and platework is essential. You must understand how metal behaves during the folding, welding, and assembly processes.
Industry Context: Experience within vehicle manufacturingis a significant advantage.
Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks is essential for this role.
Analytical Leadership: Ability to use risk-mitigation tools and Continuous Improvement (CI) methodologies to prevent design failures before they reach production.
Deep understanding of BS8888 / GD&T drawing standards and safety policies within a manufacturing environment.
Qualifications
Degree in Engineering or Manufacturing preferred.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to move into a management-level position where you aren't just maintaining a system, but actively building it. You will have the autonomy to define the "Gold Standard" for a market leader and see your engineering decisions reflected in high-value vehicles on the road.
Benefits include: Competitive salary up to £65,000 per annum, free on-site parking, and a direct reporting line to the Technical Director.#design #designengineering #mechanicaldesign....Read more...
