Job description

What you'll do

In this role, you'll take ownership of commissioning activities, project delivery and ongoing continuous improvement across the Cutting & Stacking area within the Assembly Zone. You'll help shape how new equipment, processes and utilities are introduced into the operation - ensuring they're safe, compliant and ready for long-term performance.

Day-to-day, you'll review and evaluate design proposals, tender packages and technical solutions during early project phases. You'll provide engineering input to ensure equipment is operable, maintainable and meets all relevant standards. As the project moves into installation and commissioning, your focus will shift to hands-on oversight: attending design reviews and FATs, working with OEMs, managing deviations and ensuring installations meet requirements.

You'll drive improvements in equipment reliability by defining commissioning standards, developing utility connection and isolation requirements, supporting training for production and maintenance teams, and establishing the right tools, spares and maintenance processes to achieve availability targets above 90%. Once production ramps up, you'll continue supporting operational equipment performance through ongoing optimisation and corrective actions.

What you'll bing

You'll have strong electro-mechanical engineering experience, ideally with at least five years working in automated or industrial manufacturing environments. You'll bring hands-on knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems, PLC/SCADA, robotics, conveying and process control - along with the ability to assess operability, maintainability and compliance of complex equipment.

You'll be confident contributing to commissioning standards, safety compliance (PUWER, UKCA/CE, machinery directives), technical documentation, and training programmes. Experience in regulated, fast-paced sectors such as battery manufacturing, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, chemicals or food & drink is highly valuable.

You'll also bring strong communication skills, the ability to collaborate with OEMs and vendors, and the mindset to continuously improve equipment performance long after start-up. Relevant qualifications such as NVQ/BTEC Level 3, HNC or an equivalent apprenticeship are expected.

What you'll get

As a new company, our reward scheme is constantly evolving. We continue to review the market to deliver a competitive benefits package, which currently includes private healthcare, car allowance, company bonus, enhanced parental leave policy and a cash allowance to boost your benefits. We are a flexible business that is committed to promoting work-life balance, partnering with Yulife to provide our team members with total wellbeing support.

You'll work in a rapidly scaling-up environment as a subsidiary of the multinational corporation, Tata Sons, to help build the UK's biggest battery manufacturing facility and make your mark in a new organisation.
