This is a senior hands-on leadership role suited to someone who has already managed a mixed engineering workshop, engineering services business or similar practical environment. The successful candidate will need strong fabrication and welding understanding, supported by enough machining knowledge to plan varied workshop activity including one-off jobs, batch work, repairs, refurbishment and urgent customer requirements. This is not an automotive production, assembly or high-volume manufacturing management role. The environment is varied, practical and service-led, with responsibility for both in-house workshop priorities and the planning of customer site activity. The Engineering Manager role: As Engineering Workshop & Site Services Manager, you will lead a skilled team of approximately 10 tradespeople, including fabricators, welders, machinists, fitters and installers. You will plan and prioritise workshop workload, allocate labour, coordinate fitters and welders for customer site work, manage urgent requirements and make sure standards are maintained across quality, delivery, health and safety, and team performance.
