Project Engineer - Precision Engineering
£30,000 - £35,000
Full Time | Permanent
A well-established precision engineering manufacturer supplying high-quality components into demanding industries, including automotive, is seeking a Project Engineer to join its growing engineering team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer with 1-3 years' experience who is looking to develop within a technically strong manufacturing environment and gain exposure to real engineering projects from concept through to production.
The Role
Working closely with design, production and quality teams, you will support the delivery of engineering projects within a precision machining environment, ensuring components and processes move efficiently from design into manufacture.
Key responsibilities include:
* Supporting the delivery of engineering and customer projects
* Assisting with the introduction of new products into production
* Reviewing engineering drawings and supporting manufacturability improvements
* Working closely with CNC machining and production teams
* Supporting process development, tooling and production documentation
* Assisting with problem solving around quality, tolerance and repeatability
* Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the shop floor
About You
* Around 1-3 years' experience in a project, design or manufacturing engineering role
* Exposure to precision engineering or machining environments (automotive, aerospace or similar)
* Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation
* Some experience with CAD software or engineering design tools
* A proactive and organised approach with strong attention to detail
* Comfortable working closely with both engineering and production teams
Why This Role
* Excellent opportunity for career progression within engineering and project management
* Work within a highly skilled precision machining environment
* Exposure to technically challenging components and processes
* Supportive team environment with strong engineering capability
This role is ideal for a motivated engineer who wants to build their career in precision manufacturing and develop into a more senior engineering or project role over time
