Ready to lead a talented mechanical engineering team?

Enjoy improving how products, people and processes work together?

Looking for a role where you can shape strategy, mentor others and stay close to technical delivery?

Our client is a growing advanced technology organisation looking for someone to lead, develop and support a high-performing mechanical engineering team.

Why This Role is Great

This is a brilliant opportunity to take ownership of mechanical engineering capability across complex product development. You'll help shape team direction, improve tools and processes, support career development, and work closely with senior technical leaders to deliver high-quality engineering outcomes.

You'll also get involved in areas such as mechanical design best practice, product lifecycle management, external partner collaboration, and continuous improvement across people, systems and delivery.

About You

Strong experience in mechanical engineering leadership or team management
A hands-on mechanical design background
Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks
Knowledge of design reviews, documentation, BoM structures and product lifecycle processes
A collaborative, practical approach to leading engineers and solving technical challenges
An interest in mentoring, coaching and building team capability

Experience with FEA, DFM, GD&T, project delivery, NPI or external suppliers would be a bonus, but our client is open to transferable experience.
