Junior Mechanical Engineer

Location: Cullompton
Salary: £32,000 – £35,000

We’re recruiting for a growing engineering manufacturer who are looking to bring in a Junior Mechanical Engineer / Machine Build Engineer to support their factory build team.

This role is ideal for someone early in their engineering career with strong mechanical skills and some electrical understanding, who enjoys hands-on work and wants to develop within machine design and build.

You’ll be involved in the assembly, fitting, and commissioning of bespoke machinery, working closely with experienced engineers from concept through to completion.

The role:

• Mechanical assembly and build of new machinery
• Fitting components, pipework, guards, drives, and mechanisms
• Assisting with basic electrical wiring, sensors, motors, and panels
• Supporting machine testing and commissioning
• Reading engineering drawings and build specs
• Working alongside senior engineers to learn full machine build processes

We’re looking for:

• Mechanical engineering background (apprenticeship, NVQ, HNC, or similar)
• Some electrical awareness (not looking for a qualified electrician)
• Experience or interest in machine build / assembly
• Practical, hands-on approach
• Keen to learn and progress
• Reliable team player

What’s on offer:

• £32–35k depending on experience
• Factory-based role (no site travel)
• Training and mentoring from experienced engineers
• Long-term progression into senior build or commissioning roles
• Stable position within a growing business

Perfect for someone stepping up from apprentice/junior level or moving from general mechanical fitting into machine build engineering.
