Job Description

Senior Engineer – Engineering & Automation Manufacturer 

Ready to step into a Senior Engineer role where your decisions actually shape the machines that ship worldwide?

This privately owned engineering manufacturer is expanding fast — and we’re looking for a sharp, detail‑driven engineer who thrives in complex machinery environments.

If you’ve worked with packaging machinery, automation equipment, special‑purpose machinery or similar engineered systems, you’ll feel right at home.

The Role

As part of a growing engineering team, you’ll report to the Lead Engineer and work across the full engineering lifecycle:

• Machinery design for customer orders

• R&D projects and new product development

• Cost‑saving engineering improvements

• Final testing of equipment, occasionally in front of customers

• Full ownership of design, development, and release for manufacture

• Creation of build manuals, user manuals, statutory documentation, and testing documentation

This is a demanding role with high expectations — perfect for someone who wants to step up, take ownership, and make a visible impact.

Requirements

What You’ll Bring

Strong engineering fundamentals with attention to detail.

ERP/MRP capability — ideally Business Central, or similar

2D drawing competence and confidence with factory/layout design

High digital literacy — strong with modern tools, and AI skills are a major advantage

Ambition, resilience, and the hunger to help transform an engineering department

A Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar

An excellent understanding of pneumatic control is ideal

Experience of ATEX and CE marking requirements ideal

Ideally more than 10 years’ experience from the packaging industry or similar

Benefits
If you're someone who:   

Wants autonomy and responsibility

Thrives in a fast‑moving engineering environment

Enjoys solving complex mechanical challenges

Is ready to elevate an engineering function, not just maintain it.

Then we would love to hear from you!

Salary of £50,000 - £60,000 Plus Benefits
