Mechanical Design Engineer – Year Placement
Location: Cheltenham
Compensation: £23,500
Designing award-winning products for our market-leading brands – Mira Showers, Rada and Kohler - is our lifeblood. We focus on investment; investing in the best technology and resources available and investing in each and every individual. Put simply, it’s who we are. Whether you arrive at our factories in Cheltenham or Hull, have a visit from a Service Engineer or pick up the phone to our Customer Service team, you’ll instantly see that, no matter our department or location, we all share the same values at Kohler Mira.
From day one you’re part of the Kohler Mira community – a collaborative, forward focused team with a shared pride in our work and commitment to delight our customers, develop innovative products and services and inspire our people (who knew a bathroom manufacturing company did all this?!)
But, to get to where we want to be, we are looking for an Engineer Intern to help support our NPD team. Find out more below!
Who you are
What you’ll do
The successful applicant will be placed within the New Product Development team (NPD), to gain hands-on experience in designing products. During the placement the engineering intern will carry out multiple placements between 3-6 months each, around the various product and advanced development categories. Collaborating with senior engineers in each field to complete a variety of design and development tasks in line with business needs and project timelines. Working within the dedicated design project teams will give you detailed insight into the design process and working in the various categories will give you a rounded appreciation of multiple product types.

Skills/Requirements
We can offer you a lot in return! At Kohler Mira, you’re not a number, you’re a valued member of our team (or as we like to say, an “associate”). What this means for you, is focused development that is personalised – all of the challenge you desire with all the support you need, as well as global opportunities should you desire. We also offer competitive benefits and a genuine commitment to ‘giving something back’ through our Stewardship (CSR) efforts. We believe that our depth of knowledge and breadth of opportunities set us apart and if you believe you’d add something to our team, we’d love to hear from you. As an organisation, Kohler Mira is committed to diversity and inclusion to drive our business results and create a better future every day for our diverse associates, consumers, partners, and global communities. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment. Application to include CV, cover letter, and preferably a “portfolio”. The “portfolio” does not need to be a graphic design portfolio! Even basic photos/screenshots and information of the work you’ve done at University or at home are a great way to show off what you’ve achieved.
