  • Oversee operations, improving systems and processes to increase profitability and efficiency.
  • Lead and develop a team of engineers and technicians, sharing your expertise and mentoring the next generation.
  • Collaborate with the MD, helping to shape the future of the business and your career progression.
What you'll need
  • A strong mechanical background, with experience in managing large-scale technical projects.
  • Commercial awareness, so you can spot if a job's heading for profit or pain.
  • Leadership skills, as you'll be mentoring and developing a team of engineers and technicians.
