Engineering degree completed… but not sure you want a traditional design office role?

Looking for a position where you can combine technical knowledge with problem solving, customer interaction and commercial exposure?

This opportunity could be exactly what you’re after.

We’re supporting a well-established engineering business that works on complex industrial systems used within large commercial and manufacturing environments. Following continued growth, they are looking to recruit a Graduate Estimating Engineer to join their specialist projects and commercial team.

This role would suit someone who enjoys the technical side of engineering, but also has the confidence and personality to work closely with customers, suppliers and colleagues across the business.

Importantly, this is not a heavily sales-driven environment focused on cold calling or unrealistic targets. Instead, the role centres around understanding engineering requirements, preparing accurate project quotations and helping customers identify the right technical solution.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and commercial specialists, gradually taking ownership of a variety of project and service-related quotations.

Typical duties will include:

• Preparing cost estimates for engineering works, repairs and upgrade projects
• Reviewing drawings, technical information and customer requirements
• Calculating labour, materials and external contractor costs
• Speaking with suppliers to obtain pricing and lead times
• Producing clear and professional proposals for customers
• Supporting customers with technical and commercial queries
• Updating internal systems and tracking quotation activity
• Visiting customer sites occasionally with senior team members

You’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of engineering projects and applications, giving you an excellent platform to build both technical and commercial experience.

What They’re Looking For

• Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering or a similar technical subject
• Strong communication skills and a professional approach
• Good attention to detail and numerical confidence
• Interested in engineering systems, industrial technology and problem solving
• Motivated to build a long-term career within a growing engineering business
• Full UK driving licence

Graduates with placement experience, part-time technical work or customer-facing experience would be particularly interesting, although this isn’t essential.

Why Apply?

• Excellent training and mentoring from experienced professionals
• Clear progression into senior commercial or technical engineering roles
• Opportunity to work on interesting industrial projects
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Company vehicle provided after probation
• Growing business with long-term opportunities
• Competitive salary and benefits package

This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious graduate who wants to move into a varied engineering role offering far more than a standard graduate desk job.

• Strong understanding of document control procedures and construction workflows
• Previous experience handling technical construction documentation
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment across multiple projects
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Confident communicator who can be assertive whilst maintaining positive relationships
• Proactive, solution-focused and able to work independently when needed

Workshop Welder / Machinist (Stainless Steel Focus)

Maidstone
£30,000 – £32,000 + Overtime
Monday–Friday, 8:00–16:30

Looking for a role where your welding skills are genuinely valued, but you can also keep your hands in machining?

We’re working with a well-established manufacturing business looking to add a Welder / Machinist to their close-knit workshop team. This is a hands-on, varied role with a strong emphasis on quality stainless steel welding, alongside practical machining work using lathes and mills.

The Role

This is not a one-dimensional job — you’ll be a key part of the workshop, balancing precision welding with machining responsibilities.

• MIG welding on stainless and mild steel fabricated components
• Producing clean, high-quality welds where finish matters
• Operating manual machinery including lathes, mills and band saws
• Supporting light CNC work where required
• Reading and working from engineering drawings and technical specs
• Inspecting your own work to maintain high standards
• Working closely with the wider team to meet production targets

(Typically a welding-led role, but with regular hands-on machining throughout the week)

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is confident in welding, but also comfortable getting involved with machining — or keen to develop further in that area.

• Strong MIG welding experience (essential)
• Experience working with stainless steel – key requirement
• Ability to produce neat, consistent welds
• Experience using manual lathes and/or milling machines
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
• Background in a workshop or manufacturing environment
• A hands-on, team-focused attitude with pride in your work

(Machining can be developed further if your welding is your stronger skillset)

Why Apply?

• £30–32k basic + regular overtime available
• Monday to Friday – no weekends
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Supportive, down-to-earth team environment
• Opportunity to develop both welding and machining skills
• Stable business that invests in its people

This role suits someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in high-quality stainless steel welding, but also wants to stay involved in practical machining work rather than being stuck on one process all day.

Drive Innovation. Own Product Design. See Your Work in the Real World.

We’re working with a growing, engineering-led manufacturer delivering high-performance physical products into demanding, real-world environments. This is not theoretical design — these are products that must perform, comply, and last.

They are now looking for a hands-on Product Development leader to take ownership of R&D, design engineering, and continuous product improvement.

The Role

This is a design and development-led engineering role at its core.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading new product development (NPD) from concept through to manufacture
• Owning design decisions, materials selection, and product performance
• Driving product improvement and value engineering across existing ranges
• Translating real customer and site requirements into practical, manufacturable designs
• Embedding structured R&D and innovation processes into the business
• Working closely with production to ensure design for manufacture (DFM) and assembly (DFA)

This is a role for someone who still enjoys being close to the detail — CAD, problem-solving, testing, refining — not just managing from a distance.

What They’re Looking For

You’ll likely come from a product-focused engineering background, where you’ve designed and developed physical, manufactured products.

Typical backgrounds could include:

• Building products / construction systems
• Fabricated metal or structural products
• Automotive or mechanical equipment
• Rail, infrastructure, utilities or similar regulated environments

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience delivering NPD projects end-to-end (concept → production)
• Strong 3D CAD capability (SolidWorks, Inventor or similar)
• A deep understanding of materials, manufacturing processes and product performance
• Experience with DFM / DFA and engineering optimisation
• Exposure to testing, validation, FEA or simulation tools
• A mindset focused on improving, evolving and challenging designs

Leadership experience is important — but this is not a “sit back” role. You’ll still be hands-on in design and development work.

The Environment

• Growing SME with strong technical ambition
• Loyal, long-standing team and collaborative culture
• Opportunity to shape how products are designed and developed
• Fast-moving, where ideas can actually be implemented

The business is particularly suited to someone who:

• Enjoys building and improving products, not maintaining legacy designs
• Is naturally curious, forward-thinking and commercially aware
• Wants to make a visible impact on a product range and engineering function

Why Join?

• Genuine ownership of product development and R&D direction
• A role where your designs will be built, used and seen
• Strong influence across engineering, operations and commercial teams
• Clear opportunity to modernise and elevate the engineering function

This is an urgent hire and interviews will move quickly for the right profile.
