Engineering Manager

I am working closely with my Surrey-based client, a leading designer and manufacturer of specialist safety equipment for hazardous area electrical equipment serving a global client base across a range of industries, to find an experienced Engineering Manager to lead their expanding in-house Engineering Team.

This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their core product ranges, integrating technological developments, responding to an ever-evolving regulatory environment, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs.

Their site in Sunbury is easily reached by both road (2 minutes from the M3) and public transport (few minutes walk from Sunbury train station) where they have in-house design, fabrication and testing facilities.

We are actively seeking an Engineering Manager with previous experience of managing and leading engineering teams (including mechanical, electrical, electronics and software engineers) and a proven track record of successfully delivering multiple projects simultaneously.

You will have overall accountability for managing and leading the engineering design and project management teams to ensure delivery of both NPD & NPI projects as well as bespoke customer solutions engineering projects.

Reporting to the Group Technical Director, you will have approximately 10 direct reports. We are looking for an enthusiastic team motivator who can develop individuals as well as the overall team through coaching and mentoring.

Applicants should have project management skills and customer-facing experiences as you will be managing relationships between internal and external stakeholders. You should also have a strong commercial sense and attention to detail, with the ability to support problem-solving and ensuring that stage gates of projects are met on time and within budget.

Previous experience of developing products used in hazardous environments (i.e. ATEX, nuclear, oil & gas or chemical industries) is preferred but not essential, as would experience of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the pharmaceutical industry, although neither are essential.

In return they are willing to pay an attractive salary for the right candidate which will be negotiable based on experience, together with a personalised induction and personal development plan, and can offer career progression within the company in the future.
