Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager

• Work within a modern, established business experiencing strong growth and expansion.
• Excellent opportunity for an Engineer to step into management and make the role your own.
• Lots of scope to implement change and make an impact with strong support from wider stakeholders.

Are you an experienced Engineering Manager / Supervisor or a Maintenance Engineer looking to develop within a forward thinking manufacturer?

We are working with a highly reputable, established manufacturer who are experiencing strong growth. In order to help continue this upward trend, they are looking to improve their internal maintenance function. The position will see you manage a team of 2 Engineers and oversee the planning/scheduling of maintenance related activities. The company is fairly reactive at the moment but they are keen to bring in more structure and PPM into the business. You will have strong support from the wider Operations Manager and HSE Manager to implement new ideas. This is still a hands on position with a bias towards mechanical maintenance - we do need someone who is flexible and happy to wear a number of hats.

Salary & Hours

£50,000 to £55,000 depending on experience, as a guide. Working hours typically 8:30 am to 5:00 pm Mon - Fri.

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven experience within Maintenance Engineering roles within a manufacturing environment.
• Could suit a proven Engineering Manager or Supervisor. Alternatively, as it's a small team of 2, we could look at an experienced Maintenance Engineer who is looking to take a step into management.
• Someone who is still happy to remain hands on whilst overseeing the planning/scheduling function. This is still a varied maintenance role which will naturally grow over time.
• The machinery used varies - some are fairly automated with PLCs, others are old and incorporate pneumatics and hydraulics. A degree of initiative and an inquisitive mindset is therefore needed to adapt.

Working Environment, Opportunities and Rewards

• Fantastic modern facilities, and continued investment across the business.
• Excellent working culture - seeking someone who wants to take their own initiative to support the business and spot opportunities. This is very much a role you can make your own.
• Stable and secure business currently undergoing strong growth, implementing new processes and systems.
• The role will develop over time - this is truly a rare and excellent opportunity for the right individual.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and control the workload of a maintenance technician team to meet maintenance requirements, liaising closely with operational management teams to ensure plant is available to complete necessary PPM and repairs and ensuring timescales are clearly communicated.
• Drive improvements in workplace organisation, plant, machinery and equipment.
• Maintain an effective balance between delegated work and personal technical contribution.
• Allocate tasks to team members on a day to day basis ensuring works are completed in a timely and efficient manner.
• Maintain effective records to ensure compliance with the company's SHEQ (Safety Health Environmental and Quality) standards.
• Carry out regular planned and preventative maintenance and schedule work to ensure checks, inspections and records are accurate and up to date.
