Job Shop Recruitment has a opportunity for a Design Engineer to work for a prestigious client of ours based in Exeter.

Reporting to the Group Design Manager, a Design Engineer is required to join a very innovative Research & Development team. You will be responsible for the design of innovative new products working across all three-fuel types, (Wood, Gas & Electric), within the group heating business area, assisting in both new product design as well as existing product drawing support.

* Knowledge of general engineering practices and the use of correct materials in the design process is desirable as is a background in appropriate methods of fabrication and design for manufacture and assembly.

* Must be able to work within the budget limitations of the brief and ensure the design meets the tight cost targets in order to produce a competitively priced product.

* Must be fully conversant with all relevant engineering drawing practice.

* Ability to communicate and liaise with all internal departments (design, production engineering, production and purchasing) as well as external suppliers both in the UK and abroad.
