Start your career as a Graduate Design Engineer and get real experience working on engineering projects that matter. You'll be designing complete systems, from layouts to detailed components, and you'll see your work come to life in practical applications. You'll take on smaller assignments, learn to interpret complex diagrams, and build hands-on SolidWorks skills that will form the foundation of your engineering career.

The office, just outside Bristol, offers a team-focused environment where learning happens on the job. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, gain exposure to live projects, and develop your skills in a practical, process-driven setting. This role as Graduate Design Engineer is for someone who's motivated, ready to learn, and wants to grow into a long-term engineering career with real technical responsibility from the start.

Your Role as a Graduate Design Engineer will include:

• Designing and developing mechanical components and systems using SolidWorks as the primary CAD tool, including pipework, valves, vessels, and full plant layouts.
• Supporting live projects by interpreting diagrams, creating technical drawings, and contributing to practical engineering solutions under mentorship.
• Gaining experience with process-based systems, including site exposure and understanding how designs integrate into real-world applications.

The successful Graduate Design Engineer will need:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field, with strong SolidWorks capability and a genuine interest in process-based engineering.
• Full UK Driving Licence
• A motivated, long-term mindset with a willingness to learn on-site, develop technical competence, and grow into a core member of the engineering team.
