Ensure projects meet internal quality, documentation, and handover standards.

Drive continuous improvement across processes, design delivery, and communication.

Key Skills & Experience

Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.

Minimum 10 years’ experience managing engineering or automation projects.

Strong technical understanding of automated systems, robotics, or machinery.

Proven experience in regulated or high-precision industries (medical, healthcare, packaging, etc.).

Confident managing budgets, timelines, and multi-disciplinary engineering teams.

Skilled communicator with the ability to manage stakeholders at all levels.

Proficient in Microsoft Project or similar project management tools.

Personal Attributes

Hands-on and delivery-focused with a strong sense of ownership.
