The Role

As a Mechanical Project Engineer, you will be responsible for managing engineering projects throughout the full project life cycle. Working closely with design, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers, you will ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

  • Coordinate project schedules, budgets, resources, and deliverables.
  • Liaise with customers to understand requirements and provide regular project updates.
  • Work closely with Mechanical Design Engineers to ensure technical solutions meet customer specifications.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing, procurement, and supply chain teams to ensure project milestones are achieved.
  • Monitor project costs and support commercial decision-making.
  • Manage supplier relationships and oversee subcontractor activities where required.
  • Support installation, commissioning, and handover activities.
  • Identify project risks and implement mitigation plans.
  • Ensure all projects comply with relevant quality, safety, and industry standards.

What We're Looking For

  • Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Previous experience in a Project Engineer, Mechanical Project Engineer, Design Engineer, or similar engineering role.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles and manufacturing processes.
  • Excellent organisational and project management skills.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Full UK driving licence preferred.

What's on Offer

  • Salary of £35,000 - £40,000 dependent on experience.
  • Opportunity to work on varied and technically challenging engineering projects.
  • Career progression within a growing engineering business.
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
  • Company pension and additional benefits package.
