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)

Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Technologies & Platforms to Learn Now

From launch vehicles and CubeSats to space-based communications, climate monitoring, and lunar exploration—UK space jobs are entering a bold new era. With government investment, private capital, and ESA partnerships driving growth, demand is surging for professionals with the right skills to build and sustain this expanding space economy. Welcome to the Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the engineering tools, simulation platforms, programming languages and mission technologies that UK employers are prioritising. Whether you're an aerospace graduate, software engineer, or systems integrator, this radar helps you target the future of UK space careers.

How to Find Hidden Space Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RAeS, UKSpace & More

The UK space sector is enjoying rapid growth—driven by satellite constellations, launch services, Earth observation, space science, and defence applications. But while demand for engineers, scientists, mission designers, and space analysts is high, many of the most compelling roles are never advertised publicly. Instead, these opportunities are often filled through professional networks, working groups, innovation clusters, and academic-industry partnerships. This guide will show you how to access hidden UK space jobs by engaging with bodies like the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), UKSpace, British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and regional space clusters. By leveraging membership directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and funded projects, you can position yourself to be first in line—even before roles are posted.

How to Get a Better Space Sector Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in the UK space sector can be disheartening. Whether your work was tied to satellite design, launch services, ground systems, mission operations, or Earth observation analytics, the experience and specialist knowledge you've gained is still highly valuable. The UK government’s Space Strategy, increased commercial investment, and new launch initiatives across Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales continue to drive opportunities in upstream and downstream space technologies. This guide will help you relaunch your career in the UK space sector after redundancy.
