Shillito Group are recruiting for an Engineering Manager to join an established engineering business designing and manufacturing specialist products for hazardous and demanding environments.
This is a true hands on leadership role.
They need someone who can lead the engineering team, take ownership of product development and get involved in the detail when needed.
A big part of the role is hazardous area compliance, so experience with ATEX, IECEx or similar standards is going to matter.
You will be responsible for:
Leading and developing the engineering team
Taking ownership of product development projects from concept through to launch
Designing and developing new products around customer and market requirements
Managing product certification and keeping existing approvals compliant
Working with standards including ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and other international approvals
Arranging product testing and working through technical or certification issues
Supporting Sales with more complex customer requirements
Working closely with Production and Quality to make sure products can be manufactured properly
Producing and approving technical drawings and product documentation
Driving improvements across engineering processes and product developmentThey are looking for someone with a strong engineering background who has worked around product design, development or R&D. The original specification specifically asks for experience of product design, development or R&D project management within hazardous areas, alongside experience working to regulatory standards.
Ideally, you will have:
Experience with hazardous area products or equipment
Knowledge of ATEX, IECEx, UKEX or similar certification standards
Product design and development experience
Experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers
A good understanding of electrical engineering principles
Experience using SolidWorks, AutoCAD or similar design software
Experience within manufacturing, oil and gas, petrochemical, process, marine or another regulated engineering environment
Some knowledge of CNC machinery would be useful, but it is not essentialYou do not necessarily need to already have the title Engineering Manager.
A strong Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, Technical Manager or Design Manager with the right technical background could be just as relevant.
The important bit is that you understand product development, understand the standards and can take ownership of an engineering function without needing your hand held.
Salary is up to £60,000 depending on experience. Flexible start and finish hours as well.
