Engineering Manager

Sheffield

Up to £60,000

Permanent

Shillito Group are recruiting for an Engineering Manager to join an established engineering business designing and manufacturing specialist products for hazardous and demanding environments.

This is a true hands on leadership role.

They need someone who can lead the engineering team, take ownership of product development and get involved in the detail when needed.

A big part of the role is hazardous area compliance, so experience with ATEX, IECEx or similar standards is going to matter.

You will be responsible for:

• Leading and developing the engineering team
• Taking ownership of product development projects from concept through to launch
• Designing and developing new products around customer and market requirements
• Managing product certification and keeping existing approvals compliant
• Working with standards including ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and other international approvals
• Arranging product testing and working through technical or certification issues
• Supporting Sales with more complex customer requirements
• Working closely with Production and Quality to make sure products can be manufactured properly
• Producing and approving technical drawings and product documentation
• Driving improvements across engineering processes and product development

They are looking for someone with a strong engineering background who has worked around product design, development or R&D. The original specification specifically asks for experience of product design, development or R&D project management within hazardous areas, alongside experience working to regulatory standards.

Ideally, you will have:

• Experience with hazardous area products or equipment
• Knowledge of ATEX, IECEx, UKEX or similar certification standards
• Product design and development experience
• Experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers
• A good understanding of electrical engineering principles
• Experience using Solid Works, AutoCAD or similar design software
• Experience with in manufacturing, oil and gas, petrochemical, process, marine or another regulated engineering environment
• Some knowledge of CNC machinery would be useful, but it is not essential

You do not necessarily need to already have the title Engineering Manager.

A strong Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, Technical Manager or Design Manager with the right technical background could be just as relevant.

Salary is up to £60,000 depending on experience. Flexible start and finish hours as well.
