Job description

Senior Engineer

Are you an engineering professional with an eye for detail and experience turning technical requirements into accurate manufacturing information?

We are looking for a Production Bill of Materials (BOM) Engineer to support the delivery of subsea valve solutions, from initial customer enquiry through to manufacture.

Working closely with Sales, Manufacturing, Production, Planning, Purchasing and Quality, you will review customer specifications, prepare suitable valve solutions and ensure production teams have clear, accurate information.

About Us

We are a family-owned global company that produces ultra critical valves for the world’s oil, gas and hydrogen industries, where exceptional quality and on time delivery is critical.

With operations spanning the UK, USA, Dubai, Malaysia and India, and a world-class Research & Development centre in Knutsford, we have ambitious plans to grow beyond our £100m turnover.

Our business model is to sub-contract our components, then assemble at our facilities in Knutsford and Chennai. Our culture is agile, entrepreneurial and decisive. There are no layers of bureaucracy, endless committees or slow-moving approval processes. We value common sense, accountability and action.

You should also bring:

• An HND or higher qualification in a relevant engineering discipline.
