Recruiting Partner: Travis Talent Ltd

Are you a passionate Mechanical Design Engineer ready to make a real difference in the green energy revolution? Whether you're an experienced professional or just getting started, this is a rare opportunity to work on cutting-edge decarbonisation technology in a forward-thinking and agile environment.

We’re representing a pioneering renewables business that’s developing first-of-its-kind engineering solutions to reduce carbon emissions while producing high-value outputs for industrial applications. Their technology is changing how the world uses gas—and you could play a vital role in the journey.

🌱 Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Work with a mission-driven company at the forefront of green tech

  • Contribute to meaningful, real-world impact on carbon reduction

  • Join a collaborative, start-up-style engineering team

  • Be part of designing systems that are compact, efficient, and scalable

    🛠 What You’ll Be Doing:

    You’ll be a key part of the design team, responsible for creating and managing 3D models, technical drawings, and specifications for modular systems housed in containerised units. Responsibilities include:

  • Designing mechanical systems including process equipment, pipework, and instrumentation

  • Creating general assemblies and bills of materials

  • Managing supplier drawings and integrating them into internal files

  • Performing stress calculations and ensuring compliance with regulations

  • Supporting mechanical assembly through detailed work instructions and fitment guides

    🎓 Who We’re Looking For:

    We welcome both junior and senior-level engineers — the key is having solid CAD skills, a problem-solving mindset, and the desire to work in a fast-paced, innovative setting.

    Must Have:

  • A degree in Mechanical/Design Engineering or equivalent practical experience

  • At least some hands-on experience in a design-focused engineering environment

  • Proficiency with 3D CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks, Siemens NX)

  • A structured and organised approach to file and project management

    Nice to Have:

  • Experience with containerised or confined-space systems

  • Familiarity with ATEX/Ex design and hydrogen/gas systems

  • Exposure to CE/UKCA marking and documentation

  • Experience in early-stage product development or a start-up environment

    💼 What’s on Offer:

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays

  • 5% employer pension contribution

  • Private healthcare plan

  • Share option scheme

  • Relocation assistance if needed

  • Occasional travel opportunities (UK and international)

    🚀 Interested?

    Apply now through Travis Talent Ltd, and take the next step in your engineering career with a company that’s helping shape a more sustainable future

Veterans in Space: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into UK Space‑Industry Careers

Introduction Space is no longer the exclusive domain of superpowers—it’s a booming commercial arena. The 2024 UK Space Sector Report values the domestic industry at £17.5 billion, with the Government’s National Space Strategy committing £1.4 billion to launch sites, secure communications, and next‑generation navigation constellations. Defence intersects heavily: Skynet 6, Titania (space‑based quantum comms), and the UK Space Command’s responsive‑launch mandate all need skilled professionals. Military veterans bring mission focus, security clearance, and technical prowess—qualities the space sector craves. If you’ve maintained satellite uplinks on operations, guided aircraft via GPS under EW threat, or monitored ballistic trajectories, you already think in orbital mechanics and space situational awareness. This guide shows you how to leverage MoD transition programmes, translate military experience, and secure rewarding roles—from launch‑pad technician to satellite analyst—in Britain’s burgeoning space economy.
