Job Description:

Our client is a highly regarded, privately owned engineering and manufacturing business delivering complex, high-profile projects across international markets. Working at the intersection of engineering, automation, manufacturing and installation, the organisation is trusted to deliver solutions that few others can achieve.

With a collaborative, people-focused culture and a flat organisational structure, the business has built a strong reputation for innovation, teamwork and long-term employee retention. Every project is multidisciplinary, technically challenging and highly visible.

The Opportunity

As Head of Engineering Projects, you will take ownership of engineering delivery across complex, fast-paced projects, acting as a key leader within project teams. Over time, the role is expected to evolve into a broader strategic position with increased operational leadership responsibilities and board-level influence.

You will play a pivotal role in shaping project and engineering delivery, helping to strengthen organisational capability and support the development of future operating structures. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, delivery-focused environment working on unique and technically demanding projects.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a Head of Engineering Projects with experience delivering complex, bespoke, multidisciplinary engineering projects in low-volume, high-value environments.

Key attributes include:

  • Proven track record of leading multidisciplinary engineering projects within challenging timescales
  • Strong commercial awareness, including risk management and project costing
  • Experience managing cross-functional teams across mechanical, structural, electrical and controls disciplines
  • Hands‑on, delivery-focused leadership approach
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments where priorities and customer requirements can change

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to work on industry‑leading projects that combine engineering excellence, creativity and technical innovation. No two projects are the same, providing constant variety and challenge.

You will join a business where teamwork, adaptability and long-term thinking are fundamental to success. The role offers genuine opportunity to influence the future direction of the organisation, with clear potential for progression into a senior leadership position.
