What This Job’s Really About
We’re looking for a Project Engineer who can turn “we’ve got an idea” into “here’s a product ready to go.”
You’ll be making sure designs don’t just look good on paper but work beautifully in real life — leading projects, solving problems, and keeping everyone in sync.
Here’s What You’ll Actually Do
Take new product ideas from first sketch to production handover.
Work with suppliers, customers, and your own team — you’ll be the glue that keeps everyone connected.
Create manufacturing drawings and documents that people can actually follow.
Lock down technical specs, share them clearly, and make sure they’re met.
Be the go-to person for technical advice when sales, customers, or production hit a question.
Keep an eye on new tech and processes so we’re never stuck doing things the slow way.
Pull together reports and presentations that make sense to the people reading them.
Keep us in line with the right standards and regulations.
Help keep the place safe, tidy, and efficient (yes, 5S matters here).
Mentor or train colleagues when needed.
What You’ll Need In Your Toolkit
An engineering degree (or solid experience that shows you really know your stuff).
Experience designing products and untangling tricky engineering problems.
A solid understanding of manufacturing techniques for mechanical components.
CAD skills — ideally SolidWorks — and confidence with BS 8888 drawing standards.
The ability to read and produce clear engineering drawings.
Organisation skills that help you keep multiple projects moving without losing track.
A team-first mindset — you can chat with a machinist, a customer, or a director and still make sense to all of them.
An eye for detail — because small mistakes cost big later.
If We’re Being Honest…
You’ll be talking to people a lot. If you want total silence all day, this isn’t it.
Some deadlines are tight — we can’t sugarcoat that.
We care about documentation and clarity. “I’ll remember it” isn’t a plan.
Projects can change halfway through. If you need everything set in stone, you might find that tricky.
How To Put Your Name In The Hat
If you’re nodding along thinking, “Yep, that’s me,” send us your CV and tell us about a project you’re proud of — one where you made a real difference. Doesn’t need to be dressed up, just tell it straight.
