JOB DESCRIPTION: Project Engineer - machinery, equipment, manufacturing

As our new Project Engineer, you will lead the end-to-end development on engineering projects - aligning with our defined Product Roadmap.

Reporting to our Engineering Manager, you'll oversee product strategy execution from conceptual design and industrialisation through manufacturing launch and ongoing delivery (the whole project). You will have an experienced Engineer to assist you in your project delivery as well as the support of the wider multi-disciplinary engineering team (mechanical, electrical, software etc).

Your mission (if you choose to accept it) is to deliver the best-in-class products on time, to budget, and in line with our market's expectations.

You'll be joining a large engineering team of 15+, delivering products that have a direct impact in making the Aviation industry greener and more sustainable.

YOUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES: Project Engineer - machinery, equipment, manufacturing

• Product Roadmap Execution: Translate the strategic Product Roadmap into actionable development projects - defining milestones, resources, risks, and success criteria.
• Project Management: Own product development from concept through commercialisation; ensure targeted objectives - cost, schedule, performance, reliability - are met.
• Product Management: Propose and approve the technical choices through rigorous internal processes. Contribute to cost reduction projects and reliability improvements by proposing root cause and solution.
• Industrialisation Oversight: Lead design transfer to manufacturing - aligning with suppliers, quality and production teams - to guarantee robust, repeatable, and scalable production. Provide an efficient Bill of Materials (BOMs) to reduce shortages and streamline production.
• Delivery Management: Oversee major manufacturing contracts and volume deliveries; ensure schedules, quality standards, and customer commitments are honoured.
• Cross-Functional Leadership, Risk & Issue Management, Documentation & Reporting and Team Leadership
  
  

YOUR BACKGROUND: Project Engineer - machinery, equipment, manufacturing

Ideally, you will have:

• Considerable experience with product development projects within manufacturing - ideally within heavy equipment or industrial systems but we're open to any types of machinery.
• The ability to manage product development projects: planning, execution, milestone tracking, and delivering projects to a plan.
• Experience in industrialisation: design-for-manufacturability, process ramp-up, and quality controls.
• Strong familiarity with ERP/MRP systems, BOM and document release control, engineering change processes, and production workflows (Works Orders).
• The ability to influence, communicate at all levels and lead cross-disciplinary teams aligning stakeholders.
• B.Eng or in a relevant engineering subject such as mechanical, electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing or Aerospace Engineering.
