Project Engineer | Medical Device Manufacturing | Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees
Full-time | On-site, with hybrid considered
KG MedTech Recruitment Specialists are working with a medical device CDMO in Thornaby that is growing its engineering team.
About the Role
This is a new Project Engineer position. The business is winning more work, and they need another engineer to help take projects from the initial customer enquiry through to production.
Responsibilities
- A customer comes to the business with a component they need manufactured.
- You’ll look at what they need, work out whether it can be manufactured, how you would manufacture it and what it is going to cost. You’ll then put the cost together for the commercial team.
- Once the project is won, you’ll take it through to production. That means setting up the BOM, arranging materials and subcontract work, booking machine time, developing the process flow, completing the FMEA and taking care of validation and PPAP before handing the project over to production.
- You’ll also deal directly with the customer throughout the project.
- It’s a hands-on Project Engineering role, with a mixture of technical work, project management, manufacturing, and customer interaction.

Preferred Qualifications
- Medical device experience would be ideal, as would a degree, but neither is essential.
