Mechanical Design Engineer

Hayes International is a market leader in the roll forming industry. We have been around for over 60 years and continue to expand our global supply as a part of the Bradbury Group USA.

Do you have two years or more experience, and are looking for your next challenge?

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer who understands the mechanical engineering manufacturing process, mechanical concepts, and innovative design.

Our ideal candidate:

  • Has experience with mechanical engineering calculations and FEA analysis.
  • Is familiar with AutoCAD Inventor and 3D modeling.

We have an exciting and unique opportunity within our Mechanical Design Team for someone who is self-motivated, possesses great communication skills, and works well with a team. We are looking for someone that has great time-management skills and is a natural problem-solver and exhibits the ability to apply engineering fundamentals practically.

With these skills, you will be provided the opportunity to work in a supportive team environment that will test and grow many engineering disciplines from fundamental calculations and FEA analysis through to material and component selection and the generation of dynamic models and detailed manufacturing drawings. Following the process, you will be the supporting engineer that sees the project through from manufacture to final commissioning. 

If you are looking for a new challenge, a great place to work and an inclusive and supportive team, come and work with Hayes International! At Hayes, you will enjoy the stability of working with a long-standing company that has a growing order book, the opportunity to follow and support your design through the manufacturing process to completion, experience a family-like environment working within a group of experienced engineers with on-going training and development, appropriate remuneration based on skill, and experience and extensive staff benefits.

We look forward to hearing from you!
