Job Description

Lead Engineer

Altera Recruitment Group is partnering with a pioneering Clean-Tech scale-up that is rethinking how advanced materials are manufactured and reused. Their technology is already running at pilot scale. The first full production system is now being built.

They need a Lead Engineer who wants more than just another project.

This is a chance as the Lead Engineer to take real ownership of a flagship industrial machine and play a defining role in scaling breakthrough sustainable technology into commercial reality. You will not be another cog in a large corporate structure. You will be the person who makes it work.

What makes this different

  * Taking full technical ownership of a large scale production machine from concept to commissioning.

  * Transform a proven pilot into industrial output across aerospace, automotive and renewables markets.

  * You will shape how engineering is done as the company grows, with a clear path to building and leading your own team.

  * Working across mechanical, electrical and process systems in a genuinely multidisciplinary environment.

  * You will see the direct impact of your work on sustainability, cost reduction and manufacturing efficiency.

Who this suits

  * An all round Lead Engineer with 8+ years in special purpose or process machinery.

  * Someone comfortable designing, specifying, integrating and getting hands on when needed.

  * An engineer who enjoys autonomy and thrives where decisions matter.

  * A technically broad individual with mechanical depth and electrical or controls exposure.

  * Someone motivated by building something long term, not just maintaining what already exists.

What you'll receive:

  * A salary of £60,000-£80,000 depending on experience.

  * Discretionary company bonus up to 15%

  * 28 days holiday + bank holidays

  * Flexible/hybrid working.

The business is funded, growing and at a pivotal stage. Engineering is the core risk and the core opportunity. This hire is about strengthening capability and unlocking scale.

If you are currently in a stable role but feel underutilised, constrained by hierarchy, or too far removed from real engineering impact, this could be the move that re-energises your career
