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)

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.

UK Space Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your Market Value in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already misfires for UK space talent Ask a Satellite Systems Engineer wrestling with RF budgets, a Mission Operations Analyst shepherding cubesats at 04:00 UTC, or a Launch Vehicle Propulsion Engineer machining ablative liners in Cornwall: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer drifts faster than orbital debris. Since early 2024 the UK Space Agency released £1.6 billion of National Space Strategy funding, SaxaVord’s spaceport edged toward its first vertical launch licence, and Harwell Campus welcomed three VC‑fuelled in‑orbit‑servicing start‑ups. Each headline ratcheted hiring demand—and salaries. A salary guide printed in 2024 is already as dated as a Block II GPS ephemeris: no mention of the Scottish micro‑launcher premium, the AI‑earth‑observation bubble, or the sudden scarcity of flight‑dynamics controllers who can wrangle multi‑constellation mega‑swarms. To replace guesswork with data, UKSpaceJobs.co.uk distilled a clear, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority; you’ll get a realistic 2025 baseline—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks the formula, explores the forces inflating space salaries, and sets out concrete steps to boost your value within ninety days.

How to Present Space Sector Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

The UK space sector is expanding fast—from satellite communications and Earth observation to propulsion, launch services, and space sustainability. But as the technology becomes more complex, employers increasingly want space professionals who can explain it simply and persuasively to non-technical audiences. Whether you're applying for a role in engineering, mission control, data analysis, policy, or business development, your ability to present clearly is now seen as a critical soft skill. In fact, many interviews now include public speaking tasks that test your communication style, clarity, and stakeholder awareness. This guide offers a practical framework for structuring your space sector presentations, tips for engaging slides, storytelling techniques that work in interviews, and advice on answering common questions from executives, clients, and policymakers.
