Want a better work-life balance without sacrificing your career?

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join a friendly, relaxed engineering team in North Lanarkshire.

What makes this role different?

  • Choose your working week – 4 days (Friday off) or standard 5 days
  • Genuinely relaxed culture – no micromanagement, down-to-earth team
  • Open on experience level – attitude and potential matter more than ticking every box
  • Real development opportunity – grow into the role over time

What you’ll be doing

  • Mechanical design using CAD (SolidWorks / AutoCAD)
  • Creating drawings for manufacture
  • Working closely with production and engineering teams
  • Supporting design improvements, testing, and problem-solving

What they’re looking for

  • Background in mechanical design
  • Some exposure to manufacturing or engineering environments
  • CAD experience (SolidWorks, AutoCAD or similar)
  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn

Who this suits

  • A junior or mid-level engineer ready for the next step
  • Someone who wants less pressure and more balance
  • Someone who values team culture over corporate structure
