Mechanical Project Engineer | Walsall, West Midlands | £32,000 – £36,000
Join Parsons, a specialist designer, manufacturer, installer, and maintainer of fume & odour scrubbing equipment, working across a wide range of industries to deliver air pollution control solutions that genuinely matter to our customers' operations.
We're growing our engineering team and looking for a Mechanical Project Engineer who is just as comfortable on site as at a desk; someone who will get hands-on with the design, development, manufacture, installation, and commissioning of mechanical systems across the Parsons Group. You'll work closely with our Engineering Manager, gaining technical experience across every phase of a project, from initial design calculations through to equipment on site.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Designing and specifying mechanical systems and equipment — producing calculations, technical reports, and design documentation
- Producing and reviewing engineering drawings (GA drawings, 3D models, P&IDs) using CAD software
- Working directly with clients and the Engineering Manager to agree project timescales and specifications
- Getting out on site across the UK — supporting installation, testing, and commissioning, and seeing your own designs through to completion on the ground
- Testing, evaluating, and getting hands-on with equipment to ensure it is safe, reliable, and efficient
What we're looking for
- BEng / BSc in Mechanical Engineering
- A sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles and the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications
- Proficiency in CAD software and Microsoft Office
- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability, with clear written and verbal communication
- A full UK driving licence
- A practical, hands-on approach — comfortable moving between the design office and site work as projects require

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience in any of the following would also be well regarded: vessel design (PD5500), ventilation, ductwork or pipework systems, process instrumentation, CDM Regulations, or structural steel design. We are equally interested in engineers looking to develop this expertise with us.
This is a regional role based out of our Walsall office, with regular UK site visits as an integral part of the job, not an occasional add-on (company vehicle provided where possible).
We would welcome your application.
