An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a rapidly growing healthy snack manufacturer as they prepare to launch their very own production facility in Kent. Having recently secured a major retail partnership, the business is bringing production in-house for the first time and is now looking for a hands-on Project Engineer to help transform a small industrial unit into a fully operational food manufacturing site.
This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in the setup, installation, commissioning and launch of a brand-new manufacturing operation, helping to create the technical foundations that will support the next stage of growth.
The Role
Reporting directly into the founders, you will take ownership of the engineering and technical setup phase of the project, helping ensure the facility is production-ready, audit-ready and positioned to achieve SALSA accreditation ahead of launch. You'll be involved in everything from machinery installation and commissioning through to contractor coordination, facility setup, production flow, food safety considerations and practical problem solving.
