Senior Project Engineer

Job description

Project Enginering Manager

Location: Wigan (Office based)

Salary: Competitive Salary

The Business

We are a fast growing engineering business developing and manufacturing modular process packages for the water and industrial sectors. Our technology is patented, proven, and already embedded into major UK frameworks.

This is not a corporate environment. We are an owner-led, entrepreneurial business where senior people get involved, solve problems, and help build the operation as it scales.

The Role

This is a senior technical and operational role, responsible for taking customer requirements and turning them into fully engineered, manufactured packages.

The role is focused on:

• Design control
• Manufacturing coordination
• Customer and partner interface
• End-to-end project delivery from concept to shipped product

Key Responsibilities

• Own engineering projects from customer enquiry through to finished build
• Translate customer and partner requirements into engineered solutions
• Produce and manage CAD designs, layouts, and technical documentation
• Coordinate manufacturing, suppliers, and internal resources
• Act as the main technical interface with customers and partners
• Manage multiple projects in parallel in a fast moving environment
• Support development of internal processes as the business scales

What We Are Looking For

• Degree-qualified Mechanical Engineer (or with accreditations)
• Strong CAD capability (SolidWorks or equivalent)
• Experience in engineered products or packaged systems
• Comfortable in small, entrepreneurial businesses
• Strong communicator who can deal with customers and suppliers
• Organised, adaptable, and happy wearing multiple hats
• Water industry experience is preferred but not essential.

Why This Role

• Real ownership of projects, not just a slice of them
• Direct impact on a growing business with guaranteed long-term growth
• No corporate politics or layers of management
• Opportunity to shape how the engineering function evolves
