About Dalvey

Dalvey is a design-led Scottish brand producing precision-engineered accessories and timepieces for a global audience. Founded in 1897 and based near Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, we create distinctive products -- from flasks and compasses to wristwatches and barometers -- that blend heritage craftsmanship with bold, contemporary design.

We're a small, focused team designing and manufacturing real products in-house. This is a rare opportunity to work on-site with a luxury brand that combines creative development with technical execution -- from sketch to shelf.

The Role

We're hiring a

Product Designer

-- either at

junior

or

midweight

level -- to work closely with our Senior Designer in the development of a wide variety of physical products.

This is a hands-on, studio-based role with a strong technical component. You'll help bring new products to life, communicating with suppliers, preparing 2D and 3D files, tracking revisions, and contributing to product launches.

We're particularly interested in candidates who are excited by the

range

of what we do: compasses, pocket watches, flasks, barometers, accessories -- and in the opportunities to work with real materials and precision processes.

What You'll Do

Shared responsibilities for both levels:

Use

3D software

(e.g., Rhino, SolidWorks, Fusion 360) to prepare and revise models Create and adapt

2D files

in Adobe Illustrator for production and packaging Communicate with component suppliers: email drawings, track changes, manage iterations Assist with sample reviews and coordinate version control Organise internal components and technical documentation Work across a wide range of product categories Learn and apply Dalvey's distinctive visual and design language

Additional midweight responsibilities may include:

Lead discrete projects from concept to production with light supervision Proactively improve production workflows and file management Contribute original product ideas and improvements to existing lines Support the Senior Designer in mentoring junior colleagues in future

Who We're Looking For

We're open to candidates at different stages of their career. This is a unique opportunity to learn on the ground within a small, design-led team - ideal for someone who wants to invest themselves in a brand, grow with it, and become a lasting part of its story.

You'll need to have:

A background in

Product Design, Industrial Design

, or a closely related discipline Proficiency in

3D design software

(Rhino, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) Experience with

2D vector tools

such as Adobe Illustrator A

detail-oriented, organised mindset

-- able to track technical detail carefully A strong sense of ownership and pride in your work Willingness to

learn on the job

and develop through feedback A genuine interest in

physical product

, materiality, and brand craftsmanship

On-site availability near Inverness

-- this is not a remote role

Desirable but Not Essential:

A strong eye for photography and visual composition, paired with a passion for digital layout design Website or social asset creation Packaging or brand storytelling contributions

What You'll Gain

Mentorship from a highly experienced Senior Designer Deep exposure to the real-world manufacturing process Involvement in product design across many categories Opportunity to grow into a long-term, integral design role The satisfaction of helping build truly lasting, tangible things
