Day Shift
Circa £55,000 + Bonus + Enhanced Benefits
Location: Exeter
We're looking to speak with engineers who have experience working with building layouts, CAD drawings and site development projects, ideally within an industrial or manufacturing environment.
This is an opportunity to join a global engineering business supporting the redevelopment of a newly acquired site, helping shape it from early design stages through to a fully operational production facility.
Rather than a purely contracts or senior project role, this position sits closer to the detail. You'll be reviewing layouts, working with external designers, and ensuring what's being designed actually works on site.
You'll act as the link between drawings and delivery, supporting contractors, coordinating activity, and making sure designs are practical, safe and fit for purpose.
What You'll Be Doing
Supporting the redevelopment of an industrial site into a new production facility
Working closely with architects and external design teams on building layouts and infrastructure
Reviewing CAD drawings (AutoCAD or similar) and feeding back on practical site requirements
Making minor amendments to layouts where needed and ensuring designs are workable on site
Coordinating contractors during build and installation phases
Supporting delivery across civil, mechanical and electrical works
Acting as the point of contact between design teams and site operations
Reviewing RAMS and ensuring works are carried out safely and in line with CDM regulations
Supporting utilities integration including power, gas and HVAC systems
Helping oversee installation of plant, equipment and supporting infrastructure
Supporting the transition from build phase into an operational manufacturing facility
What's In It for You
Involvement in building a new production facility from the ground up
Long-term progression into a site services / facilities engineering role
Stable, well-invested business with strong long-term plans
Exposure to large-scale site development and industrial projects
Competitive salary, bonus and enhanced benefits package
Day-based role with good work-life balance
What We're Looking For
Background as a Design Engineer, Building Engineer, Facilities Engineer or similar
Experience working with CAD drawings (AutoCAD or similar), including reviewing and ideally making basic edits
Experience supporting building, refurbishment or site development projects
Comfortable working with external contractors, architects and design teams
Understanding of building services such as electrical infrastructure, HVAC or utilities
Ability to interpret technical drawings and translate them into practical site requirements
Awareness of site safety, RAMS and CDM regulations
Organised, hands-on approach with the ability to coordinate multiple activities
Desirable
Experience within industrial or manufacturing environments
Exposure to planning or building regulations
Familiarity with project stages (RIBA or similar)
Interested?
This is a good fit for someone who enjoys the design and layout side of engineering but still wants to stay close to site and see projects delivered properly.
If you want something a bit different from a standard maintenance role and like the idea of shaping a site from the ground up, it's worth a conversation
