Project Engineer II

Bring your passion, ideas and purpose to life in a company that can truly help you achieve your full potential.

As a Project Engineer, you’ll have opportunity to introduce significant bespoke automated machines and play an initial step in the validation of them. The role is essential to our business as we bring on board more machines, and look to make improvements to existing ones. You will be a key voice in owning the validation strategy that you and the team will undertake.

Day to day, you will:

• Create a project plan to deliver the work to the business, considering timelines, assessment and minimisation of risks, communication to stakeholders.
• Be connected to and very much aware of what the changes your project is introducing to the business, and aware of the benefits it will be delivering on.
• Be responsible for delivering validated machines into Production; these are used not just for production of our medical devices but also critically for the inspection of these devices.
• Learn both the technical aspects of the machines and how to test them to validate they are truly functioning as needed for medical device production.
• Take the lead on managing your projects, developing new validation tests, and executing process equipment validations for these production machines.
• Occasionally visit supplier sites as the machines are complex capital equipment projects.

• A minimum of HNC in Engineering discipline, with preference to degree level education.
• Proven experience in Project Engineering, with preference to Automated Machinery.
• Technical project management experience.
• A passion for problem‑solving.
• Curiosity, technical rigour, and an eye for continuous improvement.
• Strong documentation discipline.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to mentor others.
• An awareness and understanding of regulated environments.

We offer a competitive range of benefits including excellent salaries, a class‑leading defined contribution pension scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, subsidised canteen and a flexible benefits scheme.

We also offer optional initiatives such as onsite allotments, couch to 5k campaigns, bee‑keeping, yoga and more!
