Professional Environment: Our Leeds team values collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous improvement. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who encourage knowledge sharing and professional development.
Career Development: We invest in our people through ongoing technical training, exposure to diverse engineering projects, and opportunities to develop project management responsibilities as your career progresses.
Modern Engineering Practices: We utilize industry-standard engineering software, digital project management tools, and structured project delivery processes to help our teams work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Coordination: Assist with planning, coordinating, and monitoring engineering projects to ensure milestones, budgets, and project objectives are achieved.
Technical Documentation: Prepare engineering reports, project documentation, technical specifications, schedules, and progress updates while maintaining accurate project records.
Engineering Support: Review engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation while supporting design reviews and resolving technical challenges throughout project execution.
Site Collaboration: Work closely with project managers, site supervisors, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients to ensure engineering activities are delivered safely and efficiently.
Quality & Compliance: Monitor project activities to ensure compliance with quality standards, engineering specifications, health and safety regulations, and company procedures.
Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve project workflows, coordination processes, and engineering practices to enhance overall project performance.
What We Are Looking For:
Experience: Previous experience as a Project Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Site Engineer, Industrial Engineer, or a similar engineering role involving project coordination is preferred.
Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
Technical Skills: Strong understanding of engineering principles, project planning, engineering documentation, and the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications. Experience with Microsoft Office is essential, while familiarity with AutoCAD, Microsoft Project, or similar engineering software is advantageous.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams and build positive relationships with clients and stakeholders.
Mindset: You are organized, proactive, and solution-focused. You remain composed under pressure, enjoy solving technical challenges, and take pride in delivering engineering projects that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance.
