Descprition

Are you a time-served Maintenance Engineer with some exposure to projects, reliability projects, process improvement or machinery installations looking to take the next step in your career?

I’m working with a well-established manufacturing business who are looking to appoint a Project Engineer to support ongoing site investment and improvement activity.

This role is ideal for someone who has had some exposure to projects but is looking to build a stronger foundation and develop long-term within this space.

The Role

This is a Hands-on Project-focussed engineering role with a clear pathway into project delivery. You’ll be involved in supporting and delivering a range of site-based projects, while still utilising your maintenance engineering background.

Responsible for:

  * Supporting the planning, installation and commissioning of new equipment

  * Working closely with engineering and operations teams to deliver projects safely and efficiently

  * Coordinating contractors and ensuring work is completed to standard, on time and within budget

  * Assisting with documentation, drawings and project updates

  * Identifying opportunities to improve site performance, reliability and processes

  * Contributing to continuous improvement and future investment plans

This is not a purely desk-based role, you’ll be on the ground, involved in delivery, gaining real project experience.

What We’re Looking For

  * Time-served apprenticeship (essential)

  * Background as a Maintenance Engineer (electrical, mechanical or multi-skilled)

  * MUST HAVE ELECTRICAL QUALIFICATION

  * Previous exposure to projects, reliability, process improvement, or installations

  * Strong hands-on engineering capability

  * Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

  * Good communication and organisational skills

  * Experience within food, FMCG or manufacturing environments is advantageous

Why Apply?

  * Clear pathway into a Project Engineering career

  * £3k development budget per annum, for you to choose courses and pathways of how you wish to develop with City & Guilds recognised courses, Prince 2 or more

  * Opportunity to gain hands-on project experience

  * Join a business investing in site and equipment improvements

  * Stable, long-term opportunity within a growing manufacturing environment

  * Salary up to £55,000

This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who wants to move away from purely reactive maintenance and develop a career in projects, while still staying close to the shop floor.
