Job Details
Are you an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with a strong background in fluid dynamics or water control systems? Ready to step into an expanding, tight-knit R&D design team where flexi-time working gives you a genuine work-life balance?
If you want a role where you'll manage full product lifecycles from early concept through to prototyping and manufacture, this is your next move.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Design Manager, you will join an established team of dedicated design specialists currently undergoing an exciting phase of growth and investment.
This is an end-to-end, project-led mechanical design role where you will take ownership of new product development, selecting materials for prototyping, managing internal stages, leading tolerance analysis, and ensuring seamless handoff to manufacturing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
- Concept-to-Production Design: Lead mechanical design projects for fluid control products, piping systems, and plastic components from initial sketch to full-scale manufacture.
- Prototyping & Testing: Hands-on selection of materials for prototype builds, applying rigorous testing procedures and Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DFMA) principles.
- Internal Project Management: Manage product development timelines, track project milestones, and present progress/design reviews to departmental leads.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with in-house tooling, quality, and manufacturing specialists to resolve engineering challenges quickly and thoroughly.
Must-Haves
What We Are Looking For
- Fluid / Water Design Experience: Proven background designing products that involve water flow, fluid dynamics, or flow control systems (e.g., valves, pumps, piping, sanitaryware, or appliances).
- Strong Mechanical Fundamentals: Proficient with 3D CAD, tolerance analysis, and solving complex engineering problems under tight deadlines.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Desirable / Major Plus Points
- CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Experience: Hands-on experience with CFD software is a huge advantage.
- Injection Moulding Appreciation: Solid understanding of design for plastic injection moulding (training/upskilling provided for candidates with strong fluid experience).
- FEA & Electronics: Exposure to Finite Element Analysis or basic mechatronics/electronics integration.
