When you join us, you will be integrated into a cooperative and encouraging team, participate in challenging yet critical work, and experience ongoing growth opportunities to help you achieve your full potential. Visit our website to learn more.

Join our Operational Engineering (OE) teamas an Engineer, where you will take ownership of delivering engineering solutions that maintain, improve, and enhance the Watson‑Marlow product range across its lifecycle.
This is a hands‑on role where you will work independently on defined engineering problems and work packages, applying your skills across mechanical, electrical,or electro‑mechanical systems. You will collaborate with multi‑disciplinary teams to deliver practical, high‑quality solutions that support product performance, manufacturability,and compliance.
You will play a keyrole in supporting engineering change, resolving product and manufacturing challenges, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives across ourglobal product portfolio. This role offers exposure to real‑world engineering challenges across design, testing, manufacturing, and problem solving, withclear responsibility and impact.

Key accountabilities include:

• Technical Project Delivery
  Take ownership of defined work packages within technical projects, delivering solutions that maintain,improve, and enhance Watson‑Marlow products.
• Engineering Change (ECR/ECO)
  Deliver engineering changes inline with formal change control processes, ensuring appropriate risk assessment and compliance with ISO 9001 frameworks.
• Documentation, Scheduling& Reporting
  Produce and maintain clear technical documentation, reports, and updates in line with internal systems and quality requirements.
• Concept & Design Development
  Contribute to concept generation, evaluate engineering solutions, and support the development ofdesigns that are both technically robust and manufacturable.
• Mechanical & Electro‑Mechanical Engineering Support
  Contribute to the development,integration, and troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, or electro‑mechanical systems, depending on your background and experience.
• Prototyping & Testing
  Analyse product requirements,support prototype builds, and define and execute verification and validation testing activities.
• Test Data Analysis
  Interpret test and performance data, draw conclusions, and communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Manufacturing Engagement
  Work closely with production andsupply teams to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable, and aligned toreal production constraints.
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
  Participate in structured problem solving (e.g. 8D), identifying root causes and implementing effective corrective actions.
• Risk Management
  Support product and process risk assessment activities (FMEA / PFMEA), ensuring risks are understood and mitigated.
• Continuous Improvement
  Identify opportunities toenhance product performance, improve quality, reduce waste, and increase efficiency.
• Health & Safety
  Follow Watson‑Marlow health and safety systems and ensure safe working practices atall times.
• Collaboration
  Work with cross‑functional teams including Quality, Supply Chain, Production, and Customer Support to deliver effective engineering outcomes.
