Hello fantastic new mechanical design engineering job, goodbye long commute
An experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer looking for career progression, hybrid working and a much shorter commute.
Hybrid Mechanical Design Engineer role
Experienced mechanical design engineering candidate needs help with the search for a job closer to home
Paul is a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with more than 10 years’ experience working for various manufacturing companies.
Previously in his career, Paul had been working at a company based in Oxfordshire. Although he enjoyed the role, after moving to Coventry his 100-mile-per-day commute began to impinge on his personal time and significantly increase his financial outgoings.
He wanted to find a company that could offer mechanical engineering career progression while also providing the flexible or hybrid working approach that would give him a better work/life balance and reduce his travel expenses.

A fabulous new role, just down the road
Paul was successfully placed in a hybrid-based role with a company in Leamington Spa specialising in the design, development and manufacture of micro turbine gensets for the telecoms tower market.
He achieved an interview and job offer within two weeks of registering with Vincent Gurney.
It was a pleasure working alongside Paul. I’m very happy we found him a hybrid role that fits what he was looking for. The icing on the cake was that the hiring manager was a previous candidate I placed in the company, so it was positive to see how he’d progressed into a decision-making position, too. It’s brilliant to see our candidates going from strength to strength on their career journeys.
