Testing, Investigation & Product Improvement
South Kent
£35,000 - £50,000 DOE + bens + progression
A product fails. A component changes. A supplier issue threatens production. You are the Engineer who works out why - and what happens next.
We are recruiting exclusively for an established international organisation seeking a practical, commercially aware Engineer to support and improve an established product range.
This is not a pure design role. You will investigate technical problems, test solutions, manage changes and work across engineering, quality, manufacturing and supply chain to keep products performing.
The role
* Investigate product, component and manufacturing issues through to resolution
* Plan and carry out engineering tests, then interpret and document the results
* Support product changes, improvements and corrective actions
* Review drawings, specifications and technical documentation, using CAD when required
* Work with internal teams and external suppliers in the UK and internationally
* Take ownership of technical actions and keep projects moving
You must have:
* Professional engineering experience in a product, manufacturing or similarly technical environment
* At least a degree level qualification in a relevant Mechanical Engineering discipline
* Strong fault-finding, testing and analytical skills
* Confidence interpreting engineering drawings, specifications and technical data
* Some CAD experience and the practical judgement to know when a design change is needed
* A structured, proactive approach with the confidence to question, investigate and take ownership
* Experience in a highly regulated, quality-led industry
* The Right to Work in the UK permanently without sponsorship
What is on offer
* £35,000 - £50,000, depending on experience
* Generous benefits package
* Hybrid working with regular time at the Kent office (you must live in Kent or be happy to relocate)
* Varied work across problem-solving, testing, product improvement and technical projects
* International exposure within a specialist team backed by a larger global organisation
Scope to take on greater technical ownership as your experience develops
This opportunity can flex around your level. A capable Engineer can grow into broader responsibility, while a more experienced hire can lead complex projects and technical decisions from the outset.
Please note: this is not a graduate role. Applicants must have unrestricted UK working rights, a full UK driving licence and their own transport. Sponsorship is not available
