Chepstow

Rate dependent on experience

Yolk Recruitment is supporting a well-established manufacturing business with the recruitment of a Contract Mechanical Project Engineer to support a significant programme of site investment.

This is a 6 month contract, working alongside an experienced Project Manager to deliver a range of Cap Ex and engineering projects across a busy operational manufacturing site. There is a substantial programme of investment underway, with projects at different stages and an immediate need for someone experienced enough to get up to speed quickly and take ownership.

The site combines long-established plant and machinery with significant ongoing investment in replacement and upgraded equipment, so this will suit someone comfortable delivering projects in a live, brownfield manufacturing environment rather than working purely on new-build projects.

This is what you'll be doing

Deliver mechanical and site engineering projects from scope through to installation, commissioning and handover
Take ownership of a number of Cap Ex projects at different stages of delivery
Develop project scopes and engineering solutions with site stakeholders
Manage contractors, suppliers and installation activity
Support tendering, specification, procurement and project cost control
Coordinate project activity around live manufacturing requirements
Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time and in line with site standards

The experience you'll bring to the team

Experience delivering engineering or Cap Ex projects within manufacturing, process or heavy industry
Strong mechanical engineering background
Experience managing contractors and external suppliers
Experience taking projects from scope and specification through installation and commissioning
Good understanding of RAMS, permit to work, contractor control and site safety
HNC/HND in Engineering or equivalent experience
Ability to work independently and take ownership of live projects with minimal supervision

And this is what you'll get in return

6 month initial contract
Rate dependent on experience
Immediate start available
Varied programme of mechanical and Cap Ex projects
Opportunity to work on a site receiving significant ongoing investment
