Are you a Project Engineer who wants to bring Projects to Life?

At Vitacress Salads, we’re rooted in care — for our people, our produce, and our planet. As a Project Engineer, you’ll play a hands-on role in delivering real change. You’ll take ownership of planning, installing and commissioning exciting new projects across our site — helping us continue to grow safely, sustainably, and smartly.

You’ll be the one making it happen:

• You’ll lead projects from the ground up — gathering information, updating drawings, and bringing improvements to life
• You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our engineering and site teams, ensuring every job runs safely, smoothly and to plan
• You’ll build strong relationships with contractors, making sure projects are delivered on time, in full and on budget
• You’ll challenge how we do things, always looking for ways to make our processes safer, simpler and more effective

With your electrical and mechanical qualifications, you’ll be confident interpreting CAD drawings and navigating an engineering environment. If you’ve worked in food, drink or pharma, even better — but your problem-solving mindset and ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment are what really count.

You’re a team player who can work under your own steam, always looking to learn and improve. You take pride in your work, own your decisions and thrive under pressure.

This is your chance to make your mark at a business that values integrity, innovation and care.
