Engineering Manager (Electrical Bias)

Chesterfield

£55,000

Days

Are you an experienced Engineering Manager with a strong electrical background looking for a role where you can stay hands-on while leading a team? This is a brilliant opportunity to join a forward-thinking manufacturing business in Chesterfield, offering a genuine 50/50 split between hands-on engineering and people management.

The Role

As Engineering Manager, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day engineering function within a close-knit, collaborative team. You'll be equally comfortable picking up the tools as you are leading and developing your engineers - this isn't a desk-only role, and the business values a manager who leads from the front.

Managing and mentoring a small engineering team
Hands-on fault-finding, maintenance, and improvement work across electrical systems
Driving PPM schedules and reactive maintenance activities
Identifying and delivering continuous improvement projects
Working closely with operations and production to minimise downtime
Supporting the development and upskilling of your team

What We're Looking For

Strong electrical bias with a recognised qualification (City & Guilds, HNC/HND, or equivalent)
Proven background in a manufacturing or industrial engineering environment
Previous supervisory or management experience - or a senior engineer ready to step up
Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-paced environment
A natural leader with strong communication skills

The Package

Salary: £55,000
Days-based role - no shifts
Small, stable team with a supportive culture
Real autonomy and influence over the engineering function
