Engineering Manager
Location: South Devon
Sector: Manufacturing
Looking to work in a beautiful area of the UK?
I'm currently working with a UK-wide client that is searching for a driven individual to come in and make this role their own. This role is ideal for someone who is looking to step up into an Engineering Manager's role or someone who is looking to build their own team, have the freedom to contribute to the wider business, and develop their own skills by getting experience at this level. You'll oversee all site maintenance, manage contractors, and lead a high-performing engineering team. You'll ensure smooth operations, drive safety standards, and optimize plant performance.
With scope for investment and plans for growth and development within the business to help improve PPM systems, and have CAPEX budget input, your enthusiasm and drive are vital for this role. Your energy is as important as your excellent engineering skills, as you are the main face for the team. You will need to have a strong hands-on approach, so when needed, you can offer your mechanical/electrical hand to help.
What You'll Do:
1. Lead and develop the engineering team
2. Manage maintenance activities across the site
3. Ensure compliance with safety & food industry standards
4. Drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and optimize resources
5. Oversee contractor work and equipment servicing
6. CAPEX budgeting
Your Experience:
1. You will need to have managed a team before, whether that be big or small
2. Have the desire to improve a team, build relations, and be a vital cog in the wheel of smooth operations
3. Be educated ideally up to HNC, but NVQ or City and Guilds Level 3 is acceptable (Mechanically or Electrically)
4. FMCG / Manufacturing / Food / Packaging Background
This role is perfect for someone looking to take their next step in their engineering career, whether that's from an Engineering Team Leader/Supervisor role or you're an experienced Multiskilled Engineer. Also, if you're already an Engineering Manager and want to get off shifts or are travelling too far, we encourage you to apply.
