Project Engineer (Electrical & Controls) – Gloucestershire | Tewkesbury
Visum Recruitment are recruiting on behalf of an established specialist engineering manufacturer, who are looking to appoint a Project Engineer with an electrical and controls background to join their Gloucestershire-based team.
This is a great opportunity for a technically astute engineer to take ownership of the project lifecycle, from initial proposal through to delivery, acting as a trusted technical partner to customers and the wider sales team.
The Role
- You will take responsibility for projects from proposal stage through to delivery, with the role split roughly 50/50 between proactive project execution and reactive technical troubleshooting.
- You will act as the main technical contact for fabrication teams and electrical control panel builders, tracking progress and assembly quality.
- The role involves building strong customer relationships through regular calls and occasional site visits, offering consultative technical guidance rather than a hard sell.
- You will interpret customer specifications to produce accurate technical proposals, tender documents and cost analyses, and manage subcontractors and suppliers on lead times, pricing and resources.
- You will also provide high-level technical support to the sales team on complex fluid control systems, review technical data sheets, O&M manuals and engineering layouts, and manage sales orders using ERP, CRM and specialist sizing software.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
