Are you a mechanically-minded designer with a passion for sustainable engineering?


We’re supporting a forward thinking renewable energy company to hire a Mechanical Designer at their technical centre in Scotland.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing sector, developing 3D piping and plant layouts for cutting-edge anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities.

The Role
You’ll be responsible for detailed mechanical and pipework designs that bring large-scale green infrastructure projects to life from site layout to commissioning support.
This includes:
  • Creating accurate 2D and 3D mechanical and piping layouts using AutoCAD Plant 3D
  • Translating P&IDs into real-world pipework designs that consider cost, operability and maintainability
  • Designing standard mechanical equipment packages for in-house manufacturing
  • Supporting the project engineer during construction and commissioning to ensure installation matches design intent
  • Producing bill of materials, equipment lists and supporting tendering/RFQ documentation
  • Maintaining and updating the master drawing files, libraries and standards
  • Considering safety, material compatibility and ergonomic access at all stages
  • Regular engagement with engineers, suppliers and construction teams
You’ll join a collaborative technical function working on projects that are both economically viable and environmentally vital.

What You’ll Need
  • Degree-qualified or time-served mechanical/piping designer
  • Proficient in AutoCAD Plant 3D and/or Inventor
  • Knowledge of mechanical and piping design codes (e.g., EN13480, ASME B31.3)
  • Comfortable working from P&IDs, layout drawings and process specs
  • Able to balance detail accuracy with overall plant efficiency
  • A proactive, safety-conscious approach to your work
  • Organised, communicative, and adaptable to changing project priorities
  • Experience in biogas, AD, process or utility sectors is advantageous

Why Apply?

This is more than a drafting job. It’s a career move into the heart of the green energy transition.
You'll benefit from:
  • Long-term growth in a future-facing company
  • Clear development pathways and training
  • The chance to make your mark on projects that reduce waste and carbon
  • A work environment that values collaboration, responsibility, innovation and talent
