Job description

Why Greencore?
We're a leading manufacturer of convenience food in the UK and our purpose is to make everyday taste better.

We're a vibrant, fast-paced leading food manufacturer, employing 13,300 colleagues across 16 manufacturing units and 17 distribution depots across the UK. We supply all the UK's food retailers with everything from sandwiches, soups, and sushi to cooking sauces, pickles, and ready meals. In FY24, we generated revenues of 1.8bn.

Our vast direct-to-store (DTS) distribution network, comprising of 17 depots nationwide, enables us to make over 10,500 daily deliveries of our own chilled and frozen produce and that of third parties.

Here in Boston, we employ around 400 colleagues and produce ready-to-eat salads, prepared vegetables, and snacks for many of the major retailers such as Coop, Boots, Greggs, Costco, Spar, and BOL.

What You'll Be Doing
As our Project Engineer at Boston, you will report into the Engineering Project Manager and be part of our central projects team. You will be designing, planning, and deploying engineering solutions which enhance the capability of the assets on site. Some of our exciting projects over the next year include continuing our refrigeration improvement on site, the installation of a new transformer unit, and a new effluent treatment plant.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

1. Planning and delivering the installation and commissioning of new equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to manufacturing productivity
2. Ensuring new equipment drawings and preventative maintenance recommendations are transferred to the maintenance team's files
3. Developing User Requirement Specifications (URS) to ensure the clear and common understanding of agreed objectives and standards are established as the basis for project planning
4. Taking designs from engineering project managers and creating AutoCAD drawings as specifications
5. Following the direction given by an engineering project manager to complete design costings or installation as part of large projects

This is a Monday to Friday (8am - 4.30pm) position, though some flexibility will be required, including being happy to work night shifts when required.

What We're Looking For
As a Project Engineer, you will utilise your experience in project delivery on a daily basis and will ideally be:

1. PMI, PRINCE2 or equivalent certified
2. Able to use Microsoft Project or equivalent project management software to report on project progress
3. Experienced working with AutoCAD or similar design software to produce design specifications
4. Qualified and able to assess machine safety

Experience in the food industry or a background as a project engineer is a plus - but we're also excited to hear from engineers looking to transition into project roles, as well as recent engineering graduates!

We're not all the same at Greencore and our differences help us to make every day taste better for all our stakeholders. We truly put our people at the core and are proud of our diversity.

If this sounds like you, join us, grow with Greencore, and be a part of driving our future success.

What You'll Get in Return

1. Competitive salary and job-related benefits
2. Holidays
3. Pension up to 8% matched
4. Company share save scheme
5. Greencore Qualifications
6. Exclusive Greencore employee discount platform

Throughout your time at Greencore, you will be supported with on-the-job training and development opportunities to further your career.
