Looking for a role where you can shape a team, lead complex projects, and actually have a say in how things are done?
This is a great opportunity for someone who’s got a solid background in process engineering, knows how to manage people as well as technical output, and wants to take real ownership—not just of a department, but of how it supports the wider business.
You’d be joining a well-established engineering business with a strong track record in the process and materials handling space. They’re growing steadily, investing in their people, and now looking for someone to head up their technical and process function from their base in Lancashire.
Why might this be a great move for you?

  • You like being involved in the detail and the bigger picture. You’ll still be close enough to the technical work to make a difference, but also part of strategic conversations that shape how the business runs
  • You want to lead a team that actually values leadership. You won’t be micromanaging; you’ll be coaching, guiding, and helping talented engineers deliver their best work
  • You enjoy variety. Some days you’ll be working through technical reviews or project scoping, others you might be in a client meeting or working with the bids team to shape future projects
  • You’re ready to put your mark on something. This is a chance to bring in your own ideas, improve systems, and drive performance, not just manage what’s already there
  • You’d like to work somewhere supportive. This is a company with strong roots, a low-ego culture, and a leadership team that backs its people
    A bit about you…
    You’ve probably worked in process design for several years and naturally moved into leading others. You might be chartered, or close to it. You’re confident in a room of engineers and equally comfortable speaking with clients or directors. And above all, you’re someone who cares about getting things right and bringing people with you while you do it.
    The practical stuff
    The team are based in Lancashire, so you’ll need to be local enough to be hands-on with them. There’s also the occasional need to travel, but nothing excessive.
