We believe that our strength is not just in our steel but in the diversity of our workforce. Our people make the difference.

At Tata Steel, we’re not just shaping steel – we’re shaping the future. We’re currently looking for a Design Engineer to join our Central Engineering team and play a key role in designing innovative engineering solutions that support major capital projects, plant improvements, and maintenance excellence.

• Leading the development of mechanical designs to support capital projects and improve plant performance
• Approve and validate in‑house designs and evaluate those from third‑party suppliers
• Provide expertise to resolve plant and equipment failures or inefficiencies
• Collaborate across technical teams, project engineers, and engineering partners
• Ensuring compliance with quality assurance and regulatory standards
• Using CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Microstation) to deliver high‑quality design outputs
• Mentoring and supporting other engineers to share best practice and develop design capability across the team

To thrive in this role, you’ll bring a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, combined with hands‑on experience delivering practical design solutions in a complex industrial environment. You’ll be qualified to degree level (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, with at least five years’ experience in a similar role, ideally within manufacturing, heavy industry, or capital project settings.

As an experienced Design Engineer, you’ll be comfortable in using CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Microstation). You’ll need to be confident carrying out engineering design calculations, particularly those related to mechanical components and basic structural fabrication. A solid understanding of relevant engineering standards, material specifications, and safety regulations, such as the Health & Safety at Work Act, is essential.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are key. You’ll be expected to present ideas clearly, collaborate with engineers and project teams, and represent the Design Office in discussions with external partners and technical suppliers. A proactive approach to mentoring others and a willingness to share your knowledge across the team is highly valued.
