A UK–based, successful engineering business delivering bespoke fabricated solutions for industrial environments is looking to recruit a Mechanical Design Engineer.
Role Summary
You'll produce accurate 3D CAD designs and manufacturing documentation for sheet metal and fabricated products, primarily acoustic enclosures and associated steelwork. Using SolidWorks, you'll create 3D models, 2D production drawings and BOMs, supporting projects from concept through to manufacture (with occasional installation/site support).
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.
