Our client is seeking a Senior Process Engineer for a pivotal, hands-on role at the heart of their pilot manufacturing operation, taking full ownership of equipment reliability, facility readiness, and the systems that underpin safe, controlled production.
Senior Process Engineer – Calibration & Maintenance – London
This isn’t a role where the systems are already in place – it’s a role where you’ll build them. You’ll have genuine ownership, direct operational impact, and the opportunity to lay the foundations for a manufacturing capability that will scale. Initially, you’ll work directly on the production line – giving you firsthand insight into how equipment and facility conditions interact with real operational demands.
As the operation matures, you’ll transition into a leadership role across maintenance strategy, calibration programmes, and cross-functional equipment support – building robust, scalable systems alongside our Process Engineering and Operations teams.
Key responsibilities:
- Equipment ownership
Drive performance, availability, and uptime for all manufacturing equipment.
- Calibration programmes
Establish and manage calibration schedules and status visibility across relevant equipment.
- Preventive maintenance
Define and implement maintenance strategies; lead rapid response to breakdowns.
- Facility readiness
Support site layout, infrastructure, and EHS compliance in partnership with external consultants.
- Spare parts management
Maintain critical spare parts inventory to minimise production disruption. xwzovoh
