Project Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a capable and organised Project Engineer to support the delivery of our modular building units — including apartments, bathroom pods, and utility cupboards. You will bridge the gap between design, our factory production teams, and site installation — ensuring technical accuracy, smooth coordination, and timely progress from initial design through to manufacture and handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and interpret drawings, specifications, and design data for modular apartments, bathroom pods, and utility cupboards — ensuring designs are practical to manufacture and meet all requirements
• Coordinate technical information between design, factory production, and installation teams — resolving queries, clarifying details, and preventing delays
• Track project progress against build schedules, identifying technical risks, bottlenecks, or delays early and implementing practical solutions
• Support production planning, material coordination, and workflow scheduling to keep assembly on track
• Use CAD/BIM software to review drawings, check dimensions, and update design information as required
• Maintain accurate project records, technical documentation, and progress reports
• Liaise with suppliers and internal teams to resolve technical issues and ensure compliance with quality standards
• Assist with factory inspections, quality checks, and technical reviews during assembly
• Identify opportunities to improve designs, reduce waste, and streamline our modular manufacturing processes

Requirements & Qualifications

• Degree in Engineering — Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Industrial, or a related engineering field
• 2–5 years working as a Project Engineer, Site Engineer, or in a similar technical coordination role — ideally within manufacturing, construction, offsite, or modular build

Key Skills & Competencies

• Software Proficiency — Hands-on experience with CAD/BIM software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks. Confident using Microsoft Excel and project management tools
• Communication — Clear verbal and written skills. Able to explain technical details simply to production teams, installers, and non-technical stakeholders
• Problem Solving — Proactive approach. Able to spot issues, investigate root causes, and implement practical engineering solutions quickly
• Organisation — Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities at once, keeping to tight deadlines without losing quality or attention to detail
• Technical Awareness — Able to read and interpret assembly drawings, layouts, and specifications accurately. Understanding of building services, fixtures, and modular components is advantageous
• Teamwork — Works well across design, production, and installation teams to keep projects moving forward

What We Offer

• Permanent role with a growing market-leading modular manufacturer
• Competitive salary based on skills and experience
• Easy access from A1, on-site parking available
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression within the group
