If you’re the kind of engineer who doesn’t just maintain systems but questions them, improves them, and occasionally rebuilds them from the ground up, keep reading.
We’re partnering with a leading manufacturing business operating in a high-volume FMCG environment, looking for a Project Engineer who can take ownership of complex engineering projects and drive real operational change. This is a 3 month contract, and they are looking for someone who can start immediately and hit the ground running! This is not a sit-back-and-report role. It’s hands-on, fast-moving, and expects you to lead from the front.
