Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager – Wallington, UK

We’re working with a leading pharmaceutical company entering an exciting phase of growth, with new product introductions, operational scale‑ups, and site expansions underway. This is a unique opportunity to join a small, hands‑on site where you’ll play a key leadership role in shaping its engineering function.

As Engineering Manager, you’ll take full accountability for a compact team, overseeing maintenance, servicing, and contributing directly to engineering projects. This is a varied, practical role ideal for someone who enjoys being close to the action and making a tangible impact day‑to‑day.

You don’t need decades of experience – what matters most is your willingness to get stuck in and lead by example. Full training will be provided on pharmaceutical equipment and processes.

Standard hours are 7am–3pm, Monday to Friday, but flexibility is essential due to occasional call‑outs (including nights and weekends). Overtime/TOIL is available.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years’ hands‑on engineering/maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment
• Mechanical and electrical engineering capability preferred
• Supervisory experience is ideal, but strong technical depth and leadership potential will also be considered
• Pharmaceutical and / or GMP experience is a plus, but not essential
• Must live (or be willing to relocate) within one hour of the site due to call‑out requirements
