Job Description & How to Apply Below
Ready to step into a Senior Engineer role where your decisions actually shape the machines that ship worldwide?
This privately owned engineering manufacturer is expanding fast — and we’re looking for a sharp, detail‑driven engineer who thrives in complex machinery environments.
If you’ve worked with packaging machinery, automation equipment, special‑purpose machinery or similar engineered systems, you’ll feel right at home.
The Role
As part of a growing engineering team, you’ll report to the Lead Engineer and work across the full engineering lifecycle:
• Machinery design for customer orders
• R&D projects and new product development
• Cost‑saving engineering improvements
• Final testing of equipment, occasionally in front of customers
• Full ownership of design, development, and release for manufacture
• Creation of build manuals, user manuals, statutory documentation, and testing documentation
This is a demanding role with high expectations — perfect for someone who wants to step up, take ownership, and make a visible impact.
Requirements
What You’ll Bring
Strong engineering fundamentals with attention to detail.
ERP/MRP capability — ideally Business Central, or similar
2D drawing competence and confidence with factory/layout design
High digital literacy — strong with modern tools, and AI skills are a major advantage
Ambition, resilience, and the hunger to help transform an engineering department
A Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar
An excellent understanding of pneumatic control is ideal
Experience of ATEX and CE marking requirements ideal
Ideally more than 10 years’ experience from the packaging industry or similar
Benefits
If you're someone who:
Wants autonomy and responsibility
Thrives in a fast‑moving engineering environment
Enjoys solving complex mechanical challenges
Is ready to elevate an engineering function, not just maintain it.
Then we would love to hear from you!
Salary of £50,000 - £60,000 Plus Benefits
