Engineering Manager - Lead Our UK Engineering Team

Engineering Manager - Lead Our UK Engineering Team

Shape how we deliver custom solutions in some of the world's most demanding industries.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our UK-based team in Walsall - home to Boltight, a global hub for hydraulic bolt tensioning technology. Our engineers work close to production and customers, developing tailored solutions used in offshore wind, oil & gas, power generation and heavy industry. Precision, speed and innovation are part of everyday life here.

In this role, you'll lead a highly skilled team with deep technical expertise and strong customer focus. Your mission is to provide direction, build capability and help the team scale its impact - without losing what makes us special.

What you'll do

• Take the lead in developing a strong team culture: responsibility, learning, delivery
• Build rhythm and clarity into how we work - without slowing down what makes us fast
• Turn customer needs into engineering direction and see it through to delivered results
• Improve how we work: from design documentation to knowledge sharing
• Work closely with Sales, Operations and Procurement - engineering is part of the solution, not a handover

What you bring

• 5+ years in engineering, including 2+ years in people leadership
• Mechanical/hydraulic design experience is a plus
• Experience in fast-paced or customised manufacturing environments
• A hands-on, pragmatic leadership style with strong communication skills

Why this role matters

Our customers operate in extreme conditions - and rely on us for precision tools they can trust. What sets us apart is our ability to develop custom-engineered solutions with short lead times and high technical integrity. As Engineering Manager, you'll play a key role in scaling that ability - without compromising on quality or ingenuity.
