Matchtech Looking for 3D CAD Design Engineer at Ludlow, Shropshire Full Time

Role Purpose:

To act as Mechanical Designer and Project Engineer for various projects, ensuring workable mechanical designs are produced in 3D and 2D CAD for a range of anaerobic digestion related projects. The role will involve close coordination with both the process engineer and site installation teams to ensure a fully integrated design is produced.

To become involved during the site installation to ensure that good engineering practice is adhered to, on-going technical queries are dealt with in a timely fashion and both good and bad experiences are fed back into future designs to ensure that we learnt from our experiences.

• To provide initial conceptual arrangement drawings for proposals and develop into 3D models and 2D general arrangement drawings
• To provide mechanical design input to ensure that the design outputs are achieved on time, meet the design requirements, and achieve an acceptable level of quality.
• To ensure that the design is fully integrated and coordinated with both the process engineer, civil designer and electrical engineer.
• To read and review relevant specifications and to incorporate feedback to ensure that the mechanical design incorporates all requirements.
