High-pressure air & gas systems | UK projects | Engineering projects team

If you’re a technically strong engineer who likes owning projects end-to-end, this will land.

This role suits someone who wants responsibility, visibility, and to be trusted as the technical authority on real, high-value engineering projects, not someone who wants to sit in the background producing drawings in isolation.

The business is growing and delivering multiple high-profile projects in the UK market. That means more complexity, tighter deadlines, and higher technical scrutiny.

They need a Technical Engineer who can take technical ownership from contract kick‑off through to final customer handover, someone who keeps projects technically on track and acts as the go‑to point for customers and suppliers.

• You own the technical delivery of projects, not just a slice of it
• Direct exposure to customers, suppliers and senior stakeholders
• Close collaboration with Project Managers and Design Engineers
• Involvement in technical risk, reviews, audits and improvement, not just documentation

Day to day, you’ll be:

• Taking full technical responsibility for assigned projects
• Producing and managing technical documentation to contract requirements
• Acting as the technical point of contact for customers and suppliers
• Chairing and contributing to technical review meetings
• Managing technical risks and opportunities using structured registers
• Supporting sales with P&IDs and associated technical input
• Reporting progress clearly and regularly to the Head of Engineering Projects

There’s travel involved, including visits to customers and occasional trips to head office in Germany. This is part of the role, not an exception.

This will suit an engineer who is organised, credible and comfortable taking responsibility.

You’ll need:

• Experience in a technical engineering role
• Confidence dealing with customers and suppliers
• Comfort working with documentation, processes and deadlines
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft 365 tools

Equipment packaging experience is useful but not essential.

You’ll also need:

• A full UK driving licence and passport
• The ability to obtain SC clearance

This suits someone who:

• Likes structure and accountability
• Enjoys being the technical reference point
• Can balance detail with delivery pressure
• Works well in a small, collaborative engineering team

It won’t suit someone looking for a purely design-only or desk-bound role.
