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
