Engineering Design Manager

About Nitron Racing Nitron Racing is a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance suspension systems for motorsport, automotive, motorcycle and specialist vehicle applications . Our products are engineered, tested and manufactured to perform at the highest level. As we continue to grow, we're looking for an experienced Engineering Design Manager to lead our Engineering function and strengthen the way we develop, deliver and support our products. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity within an owner-led engineering business, where the quality of our products and the capability of our people are fundamental to our success. The Opportunity You'll lead the Engineering team and oversee New Product Development (NPD) programme from initial brief through to validation, launch and production . Your role will be to provide the structure, clarity and leadership that enables the team to deliver consistently. You'll establish clear project briefs and priorities, plan engineering resources, manage risks and ensure projects are delivered against agreed cost, quality and timescale objectives. You'll work closely with Purchasing, Production, Quality, Sales and Operations, as well as domestic and international suppliers, to remove barriers and keep projects moving. This isn't a role where you'll be expected to personally own every technical decision. Instead, you'll create the environment in which engineers can perform at their best— setting clear expectations, understanding why things go wrong, learning from them and continually improving the way we work . A genuine interest in cars, motorcycles, motorsport or high-performance engineering would be a significant advantage. Key Responsibilities Engineering
