Job Summary
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Leading the full design and development lifecycle of precision tooling projects
- Creating detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings
- Designing single and multi-cavity injection moulds
- Developing complex progression and progressive die tooling solutions
- Creating strip layouts and forming sequences for metal press applications
- Conducting Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews
- Performing tooling validation and simulation activities
- Supporting tool build processes and resolving manufacturing challenges
- Managing tool modifications, revisions, and engineering change control
- Collaborating closely with toolmakers, engineers, and production teams
- Supporting tool trials, optimisation, and final sign-off processes
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 5 years' experience in tooling design within a manufacturing or precision engineering environment
- Proven expertise in both injection mould tooling and metal press tool design
- Strong understanding of progression and progressive die design principles
- Advanced CAD/CAM experience using Mastercam, SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion, or similar platforms
- Sound knowledge of CNC machining, wire cutting, spark erosion, and conventional toolroom operations
- Excellent understanding of tool steels, heat treatment processes, and material behaviour
- Strong working knowledge of GD&T principles and engineering standards
- Experience incorporating standard tooling components and best-practice design methodologies
- Exceptional troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving abilities
- Strong leadership, communication, and project management skills
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is more than a design role.It's an opportunity to influence the entire manufacturing journey—from concept to production.
You'll be trusted to drive tooling innovation, improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce production risks, and deliver solutions that directly impact quality, productivity, and business success.
For the right individual, this role offers the chance to become a key technical leader within a growing engineering environment and build a career pathway toward Toolroom or Engineering Management.
The best designers don't just create tooling.
They create the foundations on which great manufacturing is built.
