About the role

Pratt & Whitney seeks a Senior Durable Tooling Designer to lead the design and manufacturing of durable tooling, including fixtures, gauges, lifting devices, and material-handling equipment. You will collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to drive execution from concept through delivery. You will manage projects, guide junior engineers, and help shape tooling standards across MC&O sites, contributing to cost, quality, and technical excellence in a hands-on, on-site role.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
