What You'll Be Doing

As our Project Engineer at Boston, you will report into the Engineering Project Manager and be part of our central projects team. You will be designing, planning and deploying engineering solutions which enhance the capability of the assets on site. Some of our exciting projects over the next year include continuing our refrigeration improvement on site, the installation of a new transformer unit and a new effluent treatment plant.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

• Planning and delivering the installation and commissioning of new equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to manufacturing productivity
• Ensuring new equipment drawings and preventative maintenance recommendations are transferred to the maintenance teams files
• Developing User Requirement Specifications (URS) to ensure the clear and common understanding of agreed objectives and standards are established as the basis for project planning
• Taking designs from engineering project managers and creating AutoCAD drawings as specifications
• Following the direction given, by an engineering project manager, to complete design costings or installation as part of large projects

This is a Monday to Friday (8am - 4.30pm) position, though some flexibility will be required, including being happy to work night shifts when required.

What We're Looking For

As a Project Engineer, you will utilise your experience in project delivery on a daily basis and will ideally be:

• PMI, PRINCE2 or equivalent certified
• Able to use Microsoft Project, or equivalent project management software to report on project progress
• Experienced working with AutoCAD or similar design software to product design specifications
• Qualified and able to assess machine safety

Experience in the food industry or a background as a project engineer is a plus—but we're also excited to hear from engineers looking to transition into project roles, as well as recent engineering graduates!

We’re not all the same at Greencore and our differences help us to make every day taste better for all our stakeholders. We truly put our people at the core and are proud of our diversity.
