Our Client - One Good Thing At OGT, we’re not just rethinking food, we’re reinventing how it’s made. From our world-first wrapper-free, oat-based energy bar to cutting-edge coating and moulding tech, we’re building the future of clean, sustainable performance nutrition. That means creating entirely new production systems - and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer who thrives on solving hard problems, leading projects from concept to production, and mentoring the next generation of engineers. This is a role for someone who wants to design systems no one’s built before, and see them run on a live factory floor. Why OGT? Because we’re engineering the future of food manufacturing. We’re not just scaling what exists, we’re inventing what comes next. This is your chance to: * Work on novel, first-of-their-kind systems. * See your designs go from CAD → prototype → live production. * Mentor and shape the next generation of engineers. * Be part of a business where innovation isn’t a buzzword, it’s the job. Why This Role Exists Our ambition is big: * Strengthen and scale our existing hardware. * Design the next generation of automated manufacturing systems. * Pioneer novel solutions in coating, spraying, and soft food moulding that keep us ahead of the pack. The Senior Mechanical Engineer is central to that mission-owning projects end-to-end, building prototypes, and delivering robust, production-ready equipment that takes us to the next level. What You’ll Actually Do You won’t be just drawing parts, you’ll be leading innovation: * Design, prototype & deliver: Own the full lifecycle of electromechanical systems and automated manufacturing equipment. * CAD leadership: Produce top-tier models, drawings, BOMs, and specifications that stand up to scrutiny. * Prototype & test: Build, break, and iterate until robust production-ready solutions are achieved. * Mentor engineers: Share your knowledge, guide juniors, and raise the bar across the team. * Own projects: Manage timelines, reporting, and technical outcomes with minimal supervision. * Hands-on problem solving: Jump in on asset care and operations until dedicated teams are established. * Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with R&D, Operations, and Engineering to keep projects moving at pace. How You’ll Know You’ve Won * Projects delivered: On time, to spec, within resources. * Engineering excellence: Robust CAD, BOMs, and documentation. * Innovation realised: Prototypes that become production assets. * Team impact: Junior engineers growing under your mentorship. * Market leadership maintained: Novel solutions keeping OGT ahead. Who You Are * 5 years as a design/delivery engineer in electromechanical systems, automation, or pressurised fluid systems (bonus if in FMCG/food). * CAD expert with a proven track record in delivering detailed, production-ready designs. * Hands-on prototyping & testing experience (3 years). * Skilled at documentation, structured engineering methods (PDM, version control, QA). * Confident project leader who can manage multiple streams independently. * A mentor, communicator, and collaborator who makes teams better. * Adaptable in a fast-moving, high-change environment. Extra Points If You’ve * Worked with food coatings, liquid layers, or related FMCG equipment. * Experience in simple electrical systems (wiring, harnesses, panels). * A track record of innovation in automated production line systems
