We’re supporting a global hygenic manufacturing organisation with a significant capital investment programme in securing a Contract Project Engineer to support delivery and strategic project development across a complex environment.

This role is ideally suited to a progressive, forward-thinking engineer who combines strong technical grounding with the ability to translate engineering outputs into clear, data-driven insights and presentations for senior stakeholders.

The Role

Key Responsibilities

  * Deliver and support projects from feasibility through FEED and into detailed design

  * Carry out capacity modelling, option analysis, and technical assessments

  * Translate engineering data into high-quality presentations, reports, and business cases

  * Support development of capital investment proposals and funding justifications

  * Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to ensure design alignment and delivery feasibility

  * Track and manage costs, risks, and timelines

  * Contribute to continuous improvement and optimisation initiatives

What We’re Looking For

  * Degree-qualified Engineer (Mechanical, Chemical, Process or similar)

  * Circa 5–10 years’ experience within capital projects or process/manufacturing environments

  * Strong understanding of feasibility, FEED, and detailed design stages

  * Experience with capacity modelling, data analysis, and technical problem solving

  * Highly competent with digital tools (Excel, modelling tools, PowerPoint, reporting platforms)

  * Able to produce clear, structured, board-level presentations

  * Commercially aware — understands cost, value, and investment drivers

  * Proactive, organised, and confident engaging with senior stakeholders

Contract Details

  * Outside IR35

  * Competitive day rate (DOE)

  * Long-term programme with strong extension potential

  * Immediate / short notice availability preferred
