Job Description
The project will develop a new modular range of standard agricultural and industrial steel-framed buildings. The role will focus on transferring technical knowledge into Warwick Engineering and building new in-house capability in modular product design, structural steel design coordination, product documentation, manufacturing workflow and controlled product release.
The role covers the full product development lifecycle, from customer and market requirement capture through to concept design, structural design coordination, detailed product development, manufacturing setup, prototype development and product launch. The successful candidate will gain practical experience in structural steel design, modular building systems, compliance, design control, manufacturing processes and product development.
Key responsibilities of this role will include:

- Support the development of a standardised range of modular steel-framed agricultural and industrial buildings.
- Assist with concept development, CAD modelling, technical drawings, design documentation, product structures and bills of materials.
- Coordinate technical inputs relating to structural design, Eurocode requirements, EN 1090 compliance, planning support documentation and building specification requirements.
- Support the development of PV-ready building options, including roof loading, steel frame implications, mounting interfaces and supporting structural documentation.
- Help develop manufacturing workflows, standard components, jigs, fixtures, workshop processes and standard operating procedures to support efficient production.
- Introduce and maintain design control processes, including revision control, engineering change records, drawing registers and controlled technical documentation.
- Support product costing, technical customer information and the controlled launch of the modular shed / building range through Warwick’s future online product configuration route to market.
- Liaise with internal teams, suppliers, academic partners and customers to ensure technical requirements are properly captured and translated into a practical, manufacturable product.
- Ensure the technical knowledge developed during the project is embedded within Warwick Engineering so that the business can continue to develop future standardised steel products after the Innovation Boost project is complete.
The successful graduate will lead this project, in a supportive partnership with Dundalk Institute of Technology as part of InterTradeIreland’s Innovation Boost Programme.
