Do you enjoy turning complex engineering programmes into successful manufacturing outcomes?
We're supporting a leading UK advanced engineering and defence manufacturer as they continue to invest in new products, manufacturing capability and production systems. As part of this growth, we're looking for an experienced Manufacturing Project Engineer to lead the delivery of complex engineering and manufacturing projects from concept through to production and customer acceptance.
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role within a highly regulated environment, working alongside engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain and customer teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards.
The Role
You'll take ownership of multiple manufacturing engineering projects, coordinating cross-functional teams and ensuring successful delivery throughout the project lifecycle. Using Primavera P6, you'll develop and manage integrated project schedules, monitor progress, manage risks and communicate effectively with both internal stakeholders and external customers.
