Mechanical Design Engineer
About the Company

This is a unique opportunity to join a long-established, Australian-owned engineering business that has been delivering special purpose labelling and packaging machinery since 1983.

Renowned for its custom-built solutions, rather than off-the-shelf machinery, the business partners with clients across diverse industries including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, personal care, household products, and wine. Every project is tailored, ensuring innovation, precision, and impact.

The Opportunity

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll take ownership of projects from concept through to design, manufacture, and final delivery. This is a hands-on, office and factory-based role where you'll collaborate closely with a team of six engineers, experienced shop-floor technicians, and suppliers to deliver machinery that meets and exceeds client expectations.

Reporting directly to the GM, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the engineering function during a period of organisational restructure and growth.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and development of bespoke mechanical systems, ensuring functionality, reliability, and compliance.
  • Collaborate with customers to create tailored, robust design concepts.
  • Manage projects across the full lifecycle, including design, manufacture, testing, and delivery.
  • Work closely with internal teams in automation, electrical, machining, and assembly, as well as external suppliers.
  • Select and integrate components and systems, including mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic.
  • Innovate and problem-solve to develop best-in-class packaging automation solutions.
About You

We are seeking a driven engineer who thrives in a collaborative, hands-on environment. You will bring:

  • Degree qualification in mechanical engineering or mechatronics.
  • Minimum 5 years' experience in special purpose machinery design and manufacture.
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, PDM Vault, and Microsoft Excel.
  • Working knowledge of pneumatic and motion control systems.
  • Experience in packaging machinery or high-end labelling equipment (highly regarded).
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills to manage multiple projects.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport across teams and suppliers.
  • A long-term mindset and commitment to seeing projects through.

Desired extras:

  • Trade background and service technician experience.
  • Familiarity with SAP ERP systems.
  • Experience in mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic integration.
What's on Offer
  • Secure, long-term role with a financially strong business.
  • A collaborative, supportive environment with a family-run culture.
  • Opportunity to work on bespoke, cutting-edge machinery projects across a wide variety of industries.
  • Stability in a business with over 40 years of success, undergoing exciting growth and transformation under new leadership.
Why Join?

This is not a standard engineering role. You'll be designing machinery that is truly one of a kind, working on custom projects that challenge your creativity and technical ability every day. With a strong pipeline, supportive leadership, and a collaborative team, you'll have the chance to make your mark in a business that values innovation and long-term commitment.
