Job Description

Process Engineering Manager

We are seeking a highly capable Process Engineering Manager to take ownership of engineering performance, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement within a heavy industrial manufacturing environment (machining experience highly desirable).

This is a pivotal, hands-on role for a Process Engineering Manager who thrives in fast-paced, high-output settings and is driven to make a tangible impact on production, reliability, and cost performance. This is not a traditional 9–5 position—this role demands presence, leadership, and accountability on the shop floor.

The Opportunity

As a Process Engineering Manager, you will play a critical role in aligning engineering with operations, ensuring processes are robust, efficient, and scalable. You will lead from the front, embedding a culture of continuous improvement while maintaining the highest standards of safety and performance.

Key Responsibilities

  * Drive optimisation of manufacturing processes to maximise efficiency, output, and quality

  * Act as a key engineering partner to operations, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity

  * Lead Continuous Improvement / World Class Manufacturing initiatives and cost reduction programmes

  * Develop and manage maintenance strategies, including both planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive response

  * Lead, mentor, and develop a multi-skilled engineering team, including apprentices and junior staff

  * Oversee CAPEX and OPEX budgets, ensuring effective investment and cost control

  * Champion and enforce robust health & safety standards across all engineering activities

  * Travel of up to 30% is required in this role

Requirements

  * Proven experience as a Process Engineering Manager or in a similar senior engineering leadership role

  * Background in heavy industry or machining environments (non-food preferred)

  * Experience within large-scale or corporate manufacturing operations

  * Strong leadership capability with a proactive, results-driven mindset

Technical Expertise

  * CMMS systems and maintenance management

  * Working knowledge of PLCs and automation systems

  * Strong understanding of hydraulics, pneumatics, and high-pressure steam systems

  * Root Cause Analysis tools (5 Why, Ishikawa, FMEA)

  * Permit to Work (PTW) systems

  * ERP systems such as Oracle

  * Strong grasp of KPIs, performance metrics, and operational efficiency drivers

What You’ll Bring

  * A hands-on, solutions-focused approach with the ability to operate at pace

  * Strong mentoring and team development capability

  * The ability to work autonomously and respond effectively to operational challenges

  * A relentless focus on delivery, efficiency, and continuous improvement
