Job description

Elevation Recruitment Group’s Design & Projects division are working with a key engineering client in Plymouth to recruit a Design Engineer on a 3-month fixed term contract.

This is a hands-on, project-focused role supporting a busy engineering team with both new product development and existing product improvements. You’ll play a key role in delivering design solutions to tight timescales, contributing across the full product lifecycle from concept through to production support.

Design Engineer – Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and development of new and existing products, supporting delivery from concept through to production
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, high-quality design solutions
  • Create, update, and manage 3D CAD models and engineering drawings, ensuring accurate version control
  • Design and source jigs, fixtures, and production tooling to support manufacturing
  • Produce technical documentation including design specifications, risk assessments, test plans, and manuals
  • Carry out mechanical analysis and validation to ensure compliance with relevant standards
  • Support production with troubleshooting and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Provide technical input to internal stakeholders including sales and operations
  • Liaise with suppliers and external partners to support project delivery
  • Assist with cost estimation, project tracking, and meeting delivery milestones
Design Engineer – Experience & Qualifications
  • Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)
  • Proven experience in a Design Engineer role within a manufacturing or engineering environment
  • Experience within a regulated industry (e.g. rail, aerospace, automotive) would be advantageous
Key Skills
  • Proficient in 3D CAD (Solid Edge / Teamcenter preferred, though training can be provided)
  • Strong problem-solving ability with a practical, hands-on engineering approach
  • Experience producing clear technical documentation and supporting design reviews
  • Understanding of mechanical engineering principles and best practice design processes
  • Knowledge of welded fabrications and cast components highly desirable
  • Exposure to composites or basic electrical principles would be beneficial
  • Familiarity with continuous improvement tools such as PDCA

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Design Engineer available at short notice, looking for an immediate contract within a well-established engineering environment.
