Senior Technical Designer

Are you a creative, detail-driven Design Engineer who thrives on transforming ideas into real-world retail experiences? We’re working with a leading retail design agency to find an exceptional Design Engineer to join their cross-functional project team.

In this role, you won’t just design — you’ll own the design. From the first sketch to the final prototype, you’ll be the driving force behind turning visual concepts into high-quality, manufacturable display solutions seen in retail environments around the world.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Collaborating with conceptual designers to bring ideas to life through SolidWorks 3D models and production-ready drawings
• Engineering stunning permanent point-of-sale (POS) and fixture designs across materials like metal, plastic, and wood alongside electronics.
• Working hands-on with clients — from briefings to presenting prototypes and factory-first-offs
• Partnering with buyers and suppliers globally to optimise for cost, quality, and manufacturability
• Managing prototypes, factory visits, and testing to ensure your designs are flawless
• Creating detailed documentation including parts lists, QC reports, and assembly guides
• Travelling within the UK and overseas when needed — because great design doesn’t happen in a vacuum

What We’re Looking For:

• A degree in Product Design Engineering or similar
• Proven experience in retail permanent POS/fixture design — ideally with exposure to the beauty industry
• Expert-level SolidWorks skills and confident sketching ability
• Strong knowledge of design for manufacture across metal, plastics, and wood
• A confident communicator who’s great under pressure and thrives in client-facing situations
• Organised, self-motivated, and passionate about delivering world-class retail experiences

Why Apply?
You’ll be joining a dynamic team that’s passionate about creativity, innovation, and precision. This is more than a design job — it’s an opportunity to take ownership of exciting, high-profile projects and see your work come to life in global retail spaces.
