Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: Sheffield
Salary: Dependent on experience + Excellent Benefits Package
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)
