Assistant Product Designer (Mould Design)

Overview

At Sustainable Design Studio we turn plastic waste into things the world actually wants. We’re an award-winning studio, and our desktop recycling machines and injection moulds ship to over 90 countries, putting the power to recycle plastic and make real products from it into people’s own hands. Our work has been featured in Forbes, Dezeen and Grand Designs. We help set up recycling workshops all over the world, and we’ve worked with brands and organisations ranging from Lush to the United Nations. This is design that gets seen, gets shipped globally, and does real good.

Responsibilities

• Design custom moulds for clients in Fusion 360, from brief through to a manufacture-ready file.
• Prepare mould designs for fabrication, whether produced in-house or externally.
• Test the returned moulds on our own recycling and injection machines, and write up clear test reports.
• Hand finished work over to the team for shipping and despatch.
• Help design future Sustainable Design Studio machines (full training given, including electrical basics).

Qualifications

• Confident, hands-on Fusion 360 skills (this is essential).
• A working understanding of 3D printing.
• Clear written English and the initiative to own your work in a small team.
• The right to work in the UK and the ability to work on-site in Hartley Wintney.

Desirable / Nice to Have

• An interest in recycling and sustainability, design-for-manufacture or injection-moulding basics, CNC, prototyping and workshop skills, Excel. You don’t need industry experience. We design our moulds and machines our own way, and we’ll teach you the recycling and injection-moulding side through hands-on support.

Candidate Profile

• This role suits a recent product or industrial design graduate who cares about the environment and wants a first role with real creative responsibility, or someone with a year or two of experience looking for variety and purpose in a growing green business. Curiosity and a willingness to learn matter more to us than a long CV.

Working Hours & Benefits

• Hours are full-time, 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
• Benefits include a company pension, free parking and flexitime where practical.

Application

To apply, send your CV and a short cover note on why you’d be a good fit. A portfolio is highly recommended.
