Engineering Manager – West EMEA
Global FMCG
💰 £66,000
📍 London (hybrid – 11 days per month in office)
✈️ Up to 70% travel across EMEA
I’m working exclusively with a globally recognised FMCG brand on an Engineering Manager role supporting West Europe.
This is a highly operational, on-the-ground position with genuine regional ownership. You’ll be embedded across multiple manufacturing sites and partners, leading plant start-ups, line trials and engineering standards across EMEA. It’s not a desk-led role - it’s built for someone who enjoys being in factories, working with OEMs and co-packers, and solving real-world production challenges.
You’ll sit at the centre of packaging, equipment and quality performance, influencing how products are manufactured and launched across the region.
Why this role is different
* Regional accountability across multiple countries and sites
* Heavy exposure to OEMs, co-packers and new plant builds
* Ownership of packaging and equipment standards
* High trust, high autonomy engineering role
* Strong package with car allowance due to travel requirements
The profile
* Engineering management experience within FMCG, beverage or manufacturing
* Strong understanding of filling lines, packaging materials and equipment
* Confident operating independently across international sites
* Comfortable with frequent travel and a delivery-led environment
If you’re looking for a senior engineering role with visibility, autonomy and genuine impact — this is worth a confidential conversation.
