Engineering Manager

Job description

Engineering Manager – West EMEA

Global FMCG

£66,000

London (hybrid – 11 days per month in office)

✈ Up to 70% travel across EMEA

I’m working exclusively with a globally recognised FMCG brand on an Engineering Manager role supporting West Europe.

This is a highly operational, on-the-ground position with genuine regional ownership. You’ll be embedded across multiple manufacturing sites and partners, leading plant start-ups, line trials and engineering standards across EMEA. It’s not a desk-led role - it’s built for someone who enjoys being in factories, working with OEMs and co-packers, and solving real-world production challenges.

You’ll sit at the centre of packaging, equipment and quality performance, influencing how products are manufactured and launched across the region.

Why this role is different

• Regional accountability across multiple countries and sites
• Heavy exposure to OEMs, co-packers and new plant builds
• Ownership of packaging and equipment standards
• High trust, high autonomy engineering role
• Strong package with car allowance due to travel requirements

The profile

• Engineering management experience within FMCG, beverage or manufacturing
• Strong understanding of filling lines, packaging materials and equipment
• Confident operating independently across international sites
• Comfortable with frequent travel and a delivery-led environment

If you’re looking for a senior engineering role with visibility, autonomy and genuine impact — this is worth a confidential conversation.
