Engineering Manager

We are looking for a Control Systems Engineering Manager (EM) with a strong control systems background and experience working in complex engineering environments.

This is a hands-on engineering leadership role for someone who wants to move beyond individual technical delivery and take greater ownership of engineering scope, technical direction, people, assurance and delivery.

Typically suited to an engineer with 7+ years’ experience, the role provides the opportunity to broaden your technical and leadership experience across multiple projects, platforms and stages of the engineering lifecycle.

You will lead and coordinate engineering activities from early definition and design through to build, integration, testing, commissioning and handover, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering, project, safety, commercial, construction and operational teams.

The role may involve supporting multiple workstreams or projects depending on programme requirements.

Significant experience working in an engineering design and delivery environment where professional engineering judgement is required.

Strong control systems, automation or related engineering experience.

Demonstrable experience leading and directing engineering teams, including multidisciplinary teams.

Experience delivering engineering scope against cost, schedule, quality and technical requirements within a structured governance environment.

Experience implementing engineering elements of a Project Execution Plan (PEP).

Experience defining and managing engineering requirements, scope breakdown structures and verification strategies.

Demonstrable experience identifying, assessing and mitigating engineering and technical risks.

Experience ensuring compliance with applicable legislation, standards, procedures and regulatory requirements.

Experience establishing and implementing proportionate engineering assurance and checking arrangements.

Experience working across multiple stages of the engineering lifecycle.

Strong stakeholder management, communication and leadership skills.

Ability to make sound engineering decisions and provide clear technical direction in a complex project environment.

Higher education qualification in an engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.

Membership of an appropriate professional engineering institution.

Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, or a demonstrable and agreed route to chartership.

We are also interested in candidates who have strong relevant experience and are actively working towards professional registration.

This role offers the opportunity to:

Work on complex, safety-critical engineering systems rather than routine maintenance activities.

Broaden your experience across multiple control system platforms and technologies.

Take ownership across the full engineering lifecycle, from early design through to commissioning and handover.

Develop your engineering leadership and people management capability.

Work alongside experienced engineers and multidisciplinary technical teams.

Develop towards senior engineering and technical leadership positions.

Gain experience across engineering assurance, safety, project delivery and stakeholder management.

Our values are built on a strong foundation of safety, integrity, and respect for every individual. People are at the heart of our mission, and we believe in supporting one another through a culture of care and collaboration.

We strive to create a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. Supporting mental wellbeing and fostering a sense of connection are essential to how we work.

When we embrace different perspectives and work together, we become more innovative, more agile, and more successful.
