Description:
We’re hiring a Project Engineer to join a busy on-site engineering function delivering a steady pipeline of improvement and investment work. This Project Engineer role sits close to operations, so you’ll see your work land in the real world. If you like taking ownership of CAPEX projects, driving projects from concept to handover, and using strong stakeholder management to get things done safely and right-first-time, this Project Engineer opportunity is built for you!
Project Engineer - What you’ll be doing (key responsibilities) - Fabrication, Welding, Precision Engineering, Mechanical Design Engineer, Solidworks, CAD
Own end-to-end delivery of multiple engineering workstreams, from scope and feasibility through commissioning and handover (true cradle-to-grave CAPEX projects).
Translate operational pain points into clear scopes, plans, costings and timelines—then deliver against them with disciplined project management.
Coordinate suppliers, contractors, and internal teams (Ops, Engineering, Quality, H&S) using proactive stakeholder management and crisp communication.
Lead site activity planning: method statements, risk assessments, installation readiness, and safe execution during shutdowns or live environments.
Track progress, manage risks/issues, and keep documentation tight so projects land compliantly and sustainably.
Project Engineer - What we’re looking for (skills & experience) - Fabrication, Welding, Precision Engineering, Mechanical Design Engineer, Solidworks, CAD
Proven experience delivering CAPEX projects / engineering change in a manufacturing, industrial, or asset-heavy environment.
Strong stakeholder management—you can influence without authority and keep multiple teams aligned.
Solid project management fundamentals (scope, budget, schedule, risk, change control), with the confidence to challenge assumptions.
Practical engineering mindset: comfortable on-site, close to equipment/processes, and happy coordinating contractors and suppliers.
Clear written documentation skills (plans, reports, handover packs) and a safety-first approach in everything you do.
