£45000 - £50000 per annum + 26 days plus all bank holidays

Our client, a leading engineering company in Retford, is seeking a Mechanical Support Engineer with a strong project focus.

You will play a key role in supporting innovative engineering solutions, working on complex control systems in an aquatic environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as the mechanical point of contact across multiple departments, supporting project delivery.

  • Assist in project planning, scheduling, and coordination to meet deadlines and budgets.

  • Review technical documentation and ensure compliance with company standards and regulations.

  • Support the preparation of reports, proposals, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Troubleshoot mechanical or hydraulic systems as required.

Requirements:

  • Experience in mechanical, hydraulic, or general engineering environments is advantageous.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage competing priorities.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to work across multiple teams.

  • Experience with project coordination or support is a plus.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; CAD experience is beneficial but not essential.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary of £45k - £50k.

  • 26 days annual leave plus all UK bank holidays.

  • Hybrid working - enjoy flexibility between office and home.

  • Exposure to a variety of engineering projects across multiple departments.

  • Opportunity to develop project management skills and grow within the company.

  • Collaborative, supportive working environment.
