M-Tec Engineering Solutions
Birmingham
I’m currently working with a well-established engineering business in Birmingham that is looking to add a Design Engineer to their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong background in tooling design and SolidWorks to step into a role where you’ll have real ownership of projects from concept through to production.

This position would suit someone who enjoys solving practical engineering problems and working closely with manufacturing teams to deliver efficient, high-quality tooling solutions.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for designing a range of tooling (jigs, fixtures, and other production tooling) to support manufacturing operations. The role offers a good mix of design, collaboration, and hands-on involvement with production.

Key Responsibilities

* Design tooling using SolidWorks, from initial concept through to final release

* Produce detailed 2D drawings and 3D models for manufacture

* Work closely with shop floor and production teams to refine and improve designs

* Support prototyping, testing, and continuous improvement activities

* Ensure designs are cost-effective, manufacturable, and meet quality standards

What I’m Looking For

* Proven experience as a Design Engineer within a manufacturing environment

* Strong SolidWorks experience (essential)

* Background in tooling design (jigs, fixtures, press tools, mould tools, etc.)

* Good understanding of manufacturing processes

* A practical, problem-solving mindset with strong attention to detail

Nice to Have

* Engineering qualification (HNC/HND/Degree or equivalent)

* Experience working in fast-paced or high-volume manufacturing

What’s in it for you?

* Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience

* Stable, growing business with long-term opportunities

* Varied project work with real engineering challenges

* Supportive team and collaborative environment

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to apply or get in touch with Dan at Mtec for more details or a confidential chat
