ECI Project Engineer | Food & Beverage | Capital Projects | Remote UK | £45,000 - £70,000
An Global Engineering consultancy delivering complex capital projects across the multiple process sectors is seeking an EC&I Project Engineer to join its growing engineering team.
This opportunity is likely to suit an EC&I Engineer, Controls Engineer, Automation Engineer, Electrical Project Engineer, Instrumentation Engineer or Control Systems Engineer looking to take ownership of capital projects from concept through to commissioning.
Working within a collaborative project delivery environment, you will support the delivery of major capital investment and process improvement projects for leading manufacturing clients across the UK and internationally.
Unlike many traditional EC&I engineering positions, this role offers significant exposure to project delivery, client engagement, contractor management and commissioning activities rather than purely detailed design work.
The ECI Project Engineer Role
As an EC&I Project Engineer, you will play a key role in delivering technically challenging projects within highly automated manufacturing environments.
