Design Engineering Manager
Milton Keynes
£80k to £120k per annum
We're looking for an experienced manager to be the design lead for Formula 1, Defence, and Aerospace projects for our client based in Milton Keynes. You'll be working closely alongside the CEO to drive diversification through team development, people management, product lifecycle management, and design engineering processes.
Role
You'll be part of a brand new senior leadership team, and your main objective will be to motivate the design team to deliver on targets. The business supplies into the F1 industry, so delivery for the 2026 season is essential and will be a key factor during your first year in this role.
You will be leading a team within the design function, which consists of a total of 11 engineers based in Milton Keynes and the US.
Your team is made up of graduates through to senior engineers, so part of the role will be to train and coach them to help develop their skills. You will be working very closely with the onsite supply chain, production, and quality departments.
Company
The business is performing strongly and is expected to record a sharp increase in revenue in the coming years. They have gone from strength to strength in recent years, which has seen the headcount on site grow, with the design team also increasing in size.
They have recently signed up for a new program and extended a major contract with another customer, placing you in a strong position with this company.
You'll be working out of a specially kitted-out manufacturing workshop, one that you would be proud to call your workplace, conveniently located on the outskirts of Milton Keynes centre. The senior management team is a very hardworking and dedicated group, so someone who shares that approach will thrive in this company.
Travel to the US will be required in this role, approximately 8 weeks of the year.
To recap, you're a natural leader within engineering with a track record of delivering complex projects on time and within the required quality standards. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
