Engineering Manager - Automotive

We are recruiting an Engineering Manager for our Automotive client to lead and develop their engineering function. This is a genuinely hands-on technical leadership role — ideal for someone with a strong background in automotive exhaust systems, powertrain or vehicle development who wants to take the next step without moving away from the engineering. You'll lead a small team, work directly with prestige OEM customers, support RFQs and technical reviews, and take ownership of engineering delivery from concept through to manufacturing.

What we're looking for:

Strong automotive engineering background, ideally exhaust / powertrain Principal, Lead or Senior Engineer ready to step into management — or an experienced Engineering Manager Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FMEA and DFM Strong understanding of product development, validation and manufacturing Confident working with customers and cross-functional teams A pragmatic, commercially aware approach Someone who leads from the front and isn't afraid to muck in
