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)

    🚀 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
