The market for jobs hard going at the moment. Well, good ones, at least. Everywhere you look it seems as though another business is closing, restructuring or struggling in some way so being in a stable job is understandably important. If finding a role where you have that, but that ll also challenge you to be the best version of yourself appeals, you might want to hear more about this one. Starting with the work; as a Mechanical Design Engineer you ll be using Inventor to design complex special purpose machinery. If inventor isn t a software you are familiar with, not to worry. The skills you ve gained elsewhere will allow us to make you an expert swiftly. Every project is 100% bespoke so whilst you ll probably find some crossover with elements of other projects, no 2 projects will be the same. I really want to stress that this isn t your 3-metre straight line conveyor system that goes into a food site. We re talking gas combustion ovens, coolers, hot plates, dispensers and pick and place systems covering multiple fully automated product lines. Culturally; this is a team with a family feel that works closely together with the customers maintenance team in mind. Sales actively encourage engineering involvement so there s no risk of over promising. That means you ll have a chance to meet customer and be truly involved from concept all the way through to commissioning. You ll probably want to stay close to the electrical and software teams too, to make sure everything will run smoothly for the customer on delivery. The business is firmly on the acquisition trail. That means they re actively pursuing additions to their existing skillset either with completely new technology in a similar technical area or its desire to add in more advanced robotics capability. Honesty is key, and right now it s unlikely you ll be stepping into a leadership role anytime soon. However, with the open office space and an emphasis on internal collaboration you will likely be dipping into many different areas, allowing you to expand your knowledge and experience. As things continue to grow and expand there s no saying you won t take the lead on some pretty innovative and interesting projects that could see your opportunities to climb the ladder increase. Salary wise; you ll probably start on a base of around £45k - £55k DOE, though I d imagine that ll grow as your time and influence on the team does. It s a company with really high staff retention, so if you re looking for a long term role, this is the place for you. The offices are in Nelson. Just off the motorway and in a modernised new industrial unit. You ll be based there during the working week (site visits aside) some people will see that as a dealbreaker, which is fair enough. If you see it as a chance to collaborate with an experienced and growing engineering team on a massive growth trajectory, I really think we should speak. Don t worry if you don t have a CV ready to go just yet. We can cross that bridge when we come to it.

Do you want to work on challenging projects, forcing you to work from scratch every time? Well, this role could be right up your street. You would be a controls engineer working full cradle to grave programming bespoke automated machines and robots, eliminating any need for human interface with the machines. As well as the programming side of things you would also be expected to carry the project right through to the commissioning stage, which will all be UK-based. The majority of the programming would be done using Siemens and/or Rockwell, but there s the odd curveball thrown in so there s a chance to learn new programmes whilst you re at it. Also, each project will be in different industries and working with different products from gaskets for hydrogen to aerospace to pottery, so if you like a challenge then this role could be your next one. They embrace hybrid working, so when you re doing documentation and software work that can be done at home, feel free, but obviously for the development and testing phases you d be required on-site in Stockport. As most of you will know in some companies the managers/directors are hard to catch not in this company, they are always in office to face the problems you may encounter and to help learn from mistakes so it definitely wouldn t be a one man show. I hate this phrase, and cringe whenever I see it on a job advert, but the salary really does depend on experience with this one with the range being between £40k to £65k. For the upper end of that, you d need to be bang on of course, but they re fair with pay and hold pretty frequent salary and performance reviews. If you think this role could be for you feel free to pop me a message or call on (phone number removed)

Now, even though its mainly office based you ll still have to travel to sites now and then but you re dealing with multi-million-pound projects as business is as busy as ever. With new offices, a great culture, and the chance for progression in the business. You ll oversee system design and specification at sales then through to life of project, you ll oversee panel design and manufacture ensuring all standards are met and on time, plus oversee the PLC/HMI systems software development and commissioning ensuring quality. Also, you ll maintain up to date industry innovations and standards. You ll obviously be a highly experienced Control Systems Engineer, with good PLC knowledge preferably Siemens. To begin with you can expect the salary to fall in the region of £45k. Wanna find out more? Give Eloisa a call on (phone number removed). Don t worry if your CV isn t up to date, we ll cross that bridge once we get to it

How many senior roles do you see that allow you to work from home 80% of the time? Perhaps this kinda thing is one of the silver linings that came from COVID? Some companies think about what s best for their people, and whilst they provide a comfortable office space for those that work better in that setting, they re grown up enough to trust you to get things done from home too. This is one of those companies. Don t get me wrong though, there s plenty of work to get your teeth in to whilst you re there You ll be a Senior Engineer, supporting the team and navigating the controls aspects of a variety of complex materials handling projects, from design to commissioning (c. 70% / 30% split). Right now, there s probably more work than they can comfortably cope with so your experience in a similar area will be vital. As far as the future, this is where it really gets interesting. The structure of the place is quite flat so, whilst you ll be able to lean on the experience and knowhow of the leadership team in the short term, there s nothing stopping you from being a big part of that in the next couple of years. Salary wise, I d imagine it ll probably fall in the region of £50k to £55k Get in touch if you d like to find out more. Don t worry too much if you don t have a CV prepped & ready to go we can cross that bridge when we come to it
