Junior Development Engineer (Thermo)

Location: Fareham
Industry: Thermal Engineering / Product Development
Type: Full‑time, Permanent, Hybrid

The Junior Development Engineer (thermo) role is an entry‑level engineering position designed to strengthen our Global Technology Team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to develop deep technical expertise in heat exchanger technology, thermodynamics, and product development.

You don’t need to be an expert yet, just someone with the right foundation, curiosity, and mindset. 

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking someone with a degree (or equivalent) in:

• Mechanical Engineering

• Thermal Engineering

• Chemical Engineering

• Or a similar engineering discipline

You should have a solid understanding of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, enough to analyse and support the development of heat exchanger products.

This role suits someone who enjoys switching between desk‑based analysis and hands‑on practical work.

You will support the design, development, and improvement of heat exchanger products across global teams. Typical tasks include:

• Running engineering calculations and simulations

• Supporting laboratory testing and experimental work

• Helping build, refine, and evaluate prototypes

• Writing clear and structured technical reports

• Tracking engineering changes and documenting work properly

• Delivering tasks in a methodical, process‑driven way

• Working to defined project timelines

• Supporting thermodynamic and performance analysis

This is a role for someone who likes order, structure, and process, and who takes pride in doing things properly.

This role involves daily collaboration with colleagues across the world, including:

• Global Technology Teams

• Product Managers

• Manufacturing Sites

• Customers and external partners

Strong communication skills are essential. You should be comfortable explaining technical ideas clearly, working with different cultures, and speaking with colleagues or customers abroad.

We’re not looking for deep experience, we’re looking for the right person:

• Keen to develop and grow

• Open to feedback and learning

• Interested in heat exchanger technology

• Comfortable with both practical and analytical work

• Willing to travel occasionally

• Curious, methodical, and proactive

This role offers strong long‑term development potential, with opportunities to grow into advanced product engineering, thermodynamic analysis, or global project roles.

You will play a key part in:

• Supporting new product development

• Improving existing product performance

• Contributing to global engineering projects

• Helping shape the next generation of heat exchanger technology

This is a rare opportunity to join a global engineering organisation at an early stage in your career and build a strong technical foundation.
