Rate dependent on experience

Yolk Recruitment is supporting a well-established manufacturing business with the recruitment of a Contract Mechanical Project Engineer to support a significant programme of site investment.

This is a 6 month contract, working alongside an experienced Project Manager to deliver a range of CapEx and engineering projects across a busy operational manufacturing site. There is a substantial programme of investment underway, with projects at different stages and an immediate need for someone experienced enough to get up to speed quickly and take ownership.

The site combines long-established plant and machinery with significant ongoing investment in replacement and upgraded equipment, so this will suit someone comfortable delivering projects in a live, brownfield manufacturing environment rather than working purely on new-build projects.

This is what you'll be doing

Deliver mechanical and site engineering projects from scope through to installation, commissioning and handover

Take ownership of a number of CapEx projects at different stages of delivery

Develop project scopes and engineering solutions with site stakeholders

Manage contractors, suppliers and installation activity

Support tendering, specification, procurement and project cost control

Coordinate project activity around live manufacturing requirements

Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time and in line with site standards

The experience you'll bring to the team

Experience delivering engineering or CapEx projects within manufacturing, process or heavy industry

Strong mechanical engineering background

Experience managing contractors and external suppliers

Experience taking projects from scope and specification through installation and commissioning

Good understanding of RAMS, permit to work, contractor control and site safety

HNC/HND in Engineering or equivalent experience

Ability to work independently and take ownership of live projects with minimal supervision

And this is what you'll get in return
