About This Role
We are recruiting for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering business working on the restoration, recreation and improvement of classic and historic vehicles.
You'll be working on the restoration, recreation and improvement of classic and historic vehicles.
This isn't about designing the same parts day after day. Every project is different, and you'll get to see your designs go from CAD to manufacture and ultimately onto the vehicle.
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.
The Role
- Design mechanical components and systems from concept through to manufacture
- Produce 3D CAD models, drawings and BOMs

- Work closely with workshop, machining and fabrication teams
- Support prototyping, testing and installation
- Provide technical guidance to engineers and technicians
The Ideal Candidate
- Strong mechanical design background
