Outstanding opportunity to join rapidly expanding Project Engineering Team
The Company:
Our client is a successful British multi-national manufacturing Group. The business is headquartered in the UK and manufactures from sites in the UK, North America, Mexico, China and Malaysia. Organic growth combined with an exceptional commercial outlook has resulted in a steady expansion of the Project Engineering function over the last 12 months, and this opening represents an attractive opportunity for an experienced Project Engineer to join this high performing team.
The Role:
* Reporting to the Technical Manager, the Project Engineer role will involve a variety of project engineering activities from quotation stage and project costing, through to expediting required equipment/tooling and validating manufacturing processes prior to implementation of manufacture and providing support to both production and quality.
* Central to the task will be a requirement to ensure that all work activity is planned, scheduled and completed in accordance with customer expectations.
* Working with Sales at the initiation of a project to provide costings and technical support in order to provide robust, deliverable quotations.
* Development of functional specifications for the purchase of equipment, raising Purchase Orders, maintaining project schedules whist tracking and reacting effectively to changes
* Development of effective partnerships with equipment & tooling suppliers to ensure product integrity and the achievement of scheduled delivery objectives; actively working to reduce and manage any corrective backlogs that arise.
* Supporting production with technical expertise and developing manufacturing methods whilst documenting clear procedures to guide production operatives.
* Tracking modifications in order that revised specifications and processes are understood by all stakeholders and comply with customer requirements.
The Person:
* Ideally educated to degree level in an appropriate discipline, you will have gained solid project engineer experience with a broad depth of knowledge. Previous experience of working with Polymers - ideally polyurethane, whilst not essential, would be of interest.
* You will possess a good Engineering background, underpinning your ability to interpret drawings with ease. Your experience need not be sector-specific; of more importance would be your understanding of manufacturing processes and project costing, your ability to interface effectively with suppliers and your ability to make a positive contribution across a broad customer and product base.
* We would expect strong software literacy, and in particular, a good grasp of the MS Office suite of products including Word, Excel and Power Point as well as MS Projects.
* Innovative and creative and with excellent communication skills, you must have a keen attention to detail and be comfortable working in varied range of products from a number of industries, each having their own unique requirements and standards to be maintained
