This is a great opportunity to step into a delivery-focused role on a regulated manufacturing site with major plans for growth. The facility produces pharmaceutical products for agricultural use, with complex powder-based processes like mixing, fermenting, steaming and drying. Turnover is set to almost double, with capital projects at the heart of that transformation.
As Project Engineer, you’ll lead a wide range of engineering projects from scoping and funding through to commissioning and handover. You’ll work across disciplines, managing suppliers and contractors, and act as a technical contact point for the wider site. Projects typically range from £50K to £2M in value and support everything from compliance upgrades to capacity expansion and plant improvement.
What you’ll be doing
- Delivering end-to-end capital projects across manufacturing and utilities
- Working closely with stakeholders in operations, engineering, EHS and quality

What you’ll need
- Engineering degree (mechanical, electrical, chemical or similar)
- Project delivery experience in a manufacturing or process environment
- Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills
- Understanding of regulated, safety-critical sites (e.g. pharma, COMAH, chemicals)
- Chartered status is a bonus but not essential
- Comfortable working on a busy, active site with a mix of office and plant work
What you’ll get
- £45,000 to £57,000 depending on experience
- 10% bonus
- 37.5 hour working week with flexible hours (10am to 4pm core time)
- Hybrid working available (home working on an ad hoc basis)
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (increasing with length of service up to 28 days)
- Option to buy or sell additional holidays
- Pension: 10% employer contribution, plus up to an additional 3% employer match if you contribute a further 3%
