Process Engineer

This is a great opportunity for a practical, improvement-focused engineer to get stuck into a site that’s full of challenge, variety and investment. Supplying specialist pharmaceutical products, the facility is in a period of growth and change, with new equipment going in, old processes being overhauled, and plenty to fix, optimise and improve.
The process side is busy and physical: mixing, heating, steaming, fermenting, drying, all under tight compliance standards. You’ll be on the ground, solving problems, driving improvements and making things run better. If you’re the kind of person who likes to see the impact of what you do every day, this could suit you well.
