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.
