If you thrive on variety, responsibility, and delivering engineering solutions that make a difference, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
About the Role
As a Project Engineer, you’ll manage projects from order to successful installation and handover. Acting as the primary customer contact, you’ll ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

You’ll split your time between the office and customer sites. UK overnight stays and some overseas travel will be part of the role.

* Proven experience delivering engineering projects, ideally within food processing or a process engineering environment
* Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across all business functions
* Enthusiastic, proactive, and organised with a “can-do” attitude
* Proficiency in MS Office and MS Project
* Skilled in AutoCAD LT
* Knowledge of steam systems, pneumatics, hydraulics, pipework, and basic electrical controls (beneficial)
* Full UK driving licence
What’s in It for You?
* Be part of a market-leading, innovative company shaping the future of food processing

* Opportunity to travel and gain global experience
