Job Description

Engineering Supervisor

Location: Dartford, Kent
 Salary: £65,000
 Working Hours: Monday to Friday, Days
 Benefits: Excellent benefits package

About the Role

We are looking for an Engineering Supervisor to join a busy manufacturing operation in Dartford, leading a small and skilled engineering team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is looking to take the next step in their engineering career, as well as someone who is currently working in a supervisory or team leadership position and is looking for a new challenge.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the engineering department, ensuring equipment is maintained safely, efficiently and reliably, while also playing an active role in longer-term engineering projects, CAPEX, budgets and continuous improvement.

The role offers the opportunity to take ownership of a broad range of engineering responsibilities while remaining close to the hands-on operation and developing the team around you.

Key Responsibilities

You will lead and support a team of five engineers, providing day-to-day direction, guidance and coaching while taking ownership of the engineering and maintenance activities across the site. You will ensure planned and reactive maintenance is completed safely and effectively, prioritising work according to production requirements and responding to breakdowns when required.

A key part of the role will be working closely with Production and other departments to minimise downtime and improve equipment reliability, while maintaining high standards of health and safety, engineering compliance and housekeeping.

You will also be involved in the wider engineering function, including CAPEX projects, engineering budgets, expenditure, contractors, maintenance costs and continuous improvement initiatives. You will have the opportunity to identify and implement improvements across the site, manage external contractors and suppliers where required, and contribute to the longer-term engineering strategy.

About You

We are open to speaking with candidates who are looking to take the next step in their engineering career, as well as those who are currently working in a supervisory or team leadership position and are looking for a new challenge. You may currently be working as a Senior Maintenance Engineer, Lead Engineer, Engineering Team Leader, Maintenance Team Leader, Engineering Supervisor or Senior Mechanical/Electrical Engineer.

We're looking for someone who is ambitious, hands-on and keen to take ownership, with the ability to lead a team while also getting involved in the wider engineering function. You should have a strong engineering or maintenance background, ideally within a manufacturing or production environment, with good mechanical and electrical knowledge and the ability to troubleshoot and solve problems effectively.

You don't necessarily need to have done every part of the role before. Attitude, leadership potential and a desire to progress are just as important as your previous job title. The ideal person will be someone who enjoys working as part of a team, is confident making decisions and wants to develop their career while taking responsibility for the day-to-day running and longer-term development of the engineering department.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer or existing team leader who wants to step up, take ownership and broaden their experience across leadership, CAPEX, budgets and the wider engineering function.
