As Engineering Manager, you're stepping into a growing company at the right moment... This is a business moving into its next phase: A new MD who's been promoted from within, someone who already understands the people, the product and where it can go. At the same time, a retirement has created a space for the existing engineering manager to step up into Head of Engineering. He's not rushing it. He wants the right Engineering Manager alongside him first. That's what this is. As Engineering Manager, you're not here to hold the fort, you are here to help shape what comes next. There's investment going in and with that comes growth, more projects, more capability, more people; and as Engineering Manager, you'll play a big part in building that. You'll be leading an existing team of 6; a mix of experience, some who've been here a few years, others more recent. It's a fresh team in many ways, which means there's real opportunity to guide, support and bring people on. And then you'll grow it....That's part of the plan! You'll also be working closely with the projects team. You'll sit alongside them, collaborate day to day, and work as one to see projects through to completion. They're as much an engineering resource to you as you are to them. As Engineering Manager, you won't just manage a team, you'll have the support and opportunity to build one. Automation sits right at the centre of where things are heading. Robotics, PLCs, control systems, how everything connects and works together. You don't need to be sat programming day to day, but as Engineering Manager, you'll understand it well enough to guide decisions and bring the right people together. At the same time, there's still a strong electro mechanical backbone here. Electrical builds, 2D and 3D models, schematics. When needed, you'll be able to step in, sense check, and support the team with the detail as well as the direction. That balance is what makes this Engineering Manager role interesting. As Engineering Manager, you'll be the one who notices where someone could do more, where two people should be working together, where a project needs a different perspective. Mentoring is a big part of it... proper mentoring, not just once a year, but ongoing... helping people grow, supporting training, giving them the confidence to step into new areas. Day to day, you'll be close to what's going on... checking in with the team, keeping projects moving, getting involved when needed but not taking over. You'll still use your technical background, but this Engineering Manager role is about leadership first. You've probably already started doing that. You'll have worked across different areas, mechanical, electrical, design, maybe automation, you don't need to be an expert in all of it, but you understand how it fits together. If your background leans towards automation, even better, what matters more is how you approach things. You're someone who brings people with you. You care about developing others. You want to build something, not just keep things ticking. In return, you're looking at around £60,000, with flexibility for the right Engineering Manager including a benefits package. There's investment in the business, not just expectation. Training is supported if it makes sense, and progression is real, you can see that from the people already stepping up around you. It's not a finished product. It's growing, evolving, and that's part of the appeal. So... Have you been looking for an Engineering Manager role where you can shape the team, not just inherit it? This role is exclusive to Marshall Harmony; you won't be contacted by any third parties. If you'd like more info or want to talk it through, just drop us a message, tag someone who'd be perfect for this below or send your CV to the email above. By submitting my CV, I acknowledge and accept that Marshall Harmony will collect and process my personal information for recruitment purposes and will retain it for a minimum of 24 months in accordance with their Privacy Policy and T&Cs, available at: (url removed)/ | (url removed)/terms-conditions/ Before this retention period expires, Marshall Harmony will contact me to ask whether I wish my data to remain on file within their talent pool

Requirements: * Commercial-grade experience developing and maintaining complex systems in C/C++. * Strong academic background in a numerate discipline (e.g. Maths, Physics, Engineer, computer science). This will probably include a 1st or 2:1 at degree level and may include a PhD. * Strong communication skills both for client work and for mentoring and leading team members. * British citizenship and UK residency for at least 10 years.
While not required, the following will significantly strengthen your application: * DSP and/or image processing expertise. * Familiarity with web UI technologies (HTML, JavaScript, etc) and Linux systems.
Due to the sensitive nature of much of the work you will perform you are required to be in the office every day, however the company understands everyone’s schedules are different and so supports flexible working hours.
