Senior Project Engineer

Senior Project Engineer – £70,000–£80,000

Location : Home-based (UK-wide travel)

Shift : Monday to Friday

Looking for a senior engineering role where you genuinely own projects from concept to commissioning?

This is a high-autonomy Senior Project Engineer opportunity with a specialist industrial engineering group delivering complex capital projects across the UK. The role sits at the heart of technically challenging work within live operational environments, combining hands-on engineering expertise with real project ownership.

Working closely with a Project Manager based overseas, you’ll act as the technical authority on defined projects and packages — trusted to make decisions, lead technical delivery, and work directly with sites, suppliers, and contractors.

Projects typically range from £500k to £10m and focus on heavy industrial processing environments, including bulk handling, conveyors, screening systems, and metal separation technology.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking end-to-end responsibility for the technical delivery of capital engineering projects
• Assessing existing plant, conveyors, structures, and processing equipment on live sites
• Developing practical engineering solutions for both retrofit and new-build installations
• Scoping, specifying, and selecting new equipment and system upgrades
• Producing and reviewing layouts, technical specifications, and design documentation
• Acting as the senior technical authority during installation, commissioning, and handover
• Coordinating closely with contractors, suppliers, and operational site teams
• Identifying and managing technical risks, changes, and improvement opportunities
• Supporting the Project Manager with clear technical reporting and input
