Looking for an Project role with variety, responsibility, and no site work?
We're recruiting for a Project Engineer to join a growing specialist business delivering bespoke treatment systems across the UK and Europe.
This is an office-based role working as part of a small, friendly, highly skilled team. You'll help turn customer requirements and early-stage concepts into clear, complete working designs with all the documentation needed for production, installation and compliance.
What you'll be doing
As a Project Engineer, your role will focus on:
- Interpreting customer specifications and clarifying requirements
- Turning concept drawings into working drawings for the workshop team
- Producing and maintaining technical documentation (including CE/UKCA files, O&M manuals)
- Creating accurate parts lists and bills of materials
- Managing project files and records to ensure traceability and compliance
- Occasional short visits to customer sites to understand systems in use (not a regular requirement)
You'll be a key link between customer requirements, design intent and practical workshop delivery-making sure everything is properly documented, specified, and ready to build.
What you'll need to succeed
- 2 years post qualification experience in a project role.
- Ability to read, interpret and produce technical drawings
- Excellent attention to detail for documentation and compliance work
- Comfortable interpreting and clarifying client specs
- Experience with parts lists, bills of materials, O&M manuals or CE/UKCA documentation (advantageous)
- Electrical drafting skills would be a strong bonus
- Good communication and organisational skills
- Able to work independently in an office-based role
What you'll get in return
- Salary of £35,000+ (depending on experience)
- Annual salary review
- Discretionary bonus scheme
- Monday to Friday days-based role (no shifts, no site work except occasional visits to learn systems)
- Ongoing training and development
- private healthcare
- Pension scheme and life insurance
- Regular company socials
- A stable, supportive employer in a specialist, growing sector
You'll be joining a well-established business with a great reputation for quality, innovation, and looking after its people. This is a fantastic role if you enjoy making sense of complex projects, documenting them clearly, and working closely with a skilled technical team to make them a reality.
