Description
Are you a time‑served Maintenance Engineer with some exposure to projects, 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‑focused 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
* 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.
