Mechanical Design Engineer 165469
This candidate was recently made redundant and is actively looking for their next role. They are available to start immediately and can attend interviews at short notice. They are open to opportunities across different industries and particularly enjoy design-focused roles that also involve hands-on engineering and testing.
They began their career in the renewable energy sector through a master's dissertation project, which led to a contract and then permanent role, contributing to various technology and design projects. In the energy and power generation sector, they were involved in the redesign of a marine genset aimed at reducing build time, lowering manufacturing costs, and improving layout for production and service teams.
They also gained procurement experience, including liaising with manufacturers and managing lead times.
Their recent roles have centred on CAD-based work, including 3D models, assemblies, 2D technical drawings, engineering change notices (ECNs), and non-conformance reports (NCRs). Their design work has involved early-stage conceptualisation, sketching, CAD modelling, and part optimisation.
They have also supported procurement and component sourcing, including lead time tracking.
Technical Skills and Tools:
