About the Role

S Jones Containers is a leader in bespoke shipping container conversions. These large fabrications are designed, manufactured and modified on site in Aldridge to suit each customer’s bespoke requirements.

As Project Design Engineer, you’ll work on new projects and existing product ranges, taking responsibility for robust design from concept through to production validation. You’ll produce the technical information our workshop builds from, including 3D models, 2D general arrangement and manufacturing drawings, technical specifications and bills of materials.

Beyond the design itself, you’ll plan how each project comes together. That means breaking designs down into materials and component lists, sourcing suppliers and purchasing project-specific materials, and creating task sequences that help the workshop plan production efficiently. You’ll work closely with the shop floor, engineering colleagues and customers to make sure every design meets the customer’s requirements and is correctly interpreted in production.

About You

We’re looking for someone with a solid foundation in mechanical engineering and product design who is self-motivated, works accurately, and enjoys being part of a small team in a busy manufacturing environment.

You’ll also bring:

• An HND or degree in an engineering discipline, ideally mechanical engineering or product design.
• Knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and product design processes.
• Experience of 3D modelling using Autodesk Inventor 2026.
• Experience of working within a busy manufacturing environment.
• The ability to complete work accurately, completely and to agreed deadlines.
• An organised, methodical approach to managing drawings and project information.
• Confident communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with the shop floor, engineering colleagues and customers.
• A strong awareness of customer needs and a professional approach when representing the business.
• A commitment to health and safety and a willingness to continually develop your knowledge of the business.
