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
