Siemens Healthineers MR Magnet Technology is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of superconducting magnets for magnetic resonance imaging – over a third of MRI scanners installed worldwide have at their heart a magnet manufactured in our Eynsham factory. The business has been awarded several Queen’s Awards for export success, two Best Factory Awards and an IMechE Manufacturing Excellence Award and is justifiably proud of its engineering and manufacturing heritage. We are now entering a key stage in our growth with the addition of our brand new, £250m, state‑of‑the‑art facility in Bicester that will be producing our new DryCool technology, which will power the future of truly sustainable MRI.

The role of the facilities project engineer is to carry out projects to support both ongoing maintenance and improvements to the operations of hard and soft facility services at Magnet Technologies facilities (predominantly Bicester but also Eynsham when needed). The role covers hard and soft service provision so can involve both physical changes and changes to service delivery or a combination of both. The role covers production areas, offices and support zones. The core facilities project works are delivered through external contractors, either through specific orders for a set specification or through ongoing long‑term service provision contracts.

• May be required to co‑ordinate with major project teams (Bicester facility team) to promote consistency of approach across existing and new facilities.
