Our client, a highly specialised engineering firm, operating within the motorsport/ high-end automotive industry.

The opportunity:

They are looking for a Project Engineer to join their growing team. This is an early-stage search, and they are keen to engage with individuals who blend hands-on engineering expertise with strong project coordination skills.

This is a mid-level opportunity, ideal for someone with around 3+ years of experience in a relevant engineering field and looking to step into a role that offers technical depth, leadership potential, and close involvement in ongoing development projects.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Supporting and reporting directly to the Head of Engineering.

• Taking a lead role on engineering tasks (approx. 60%) while also managing project activities (approx. 40%).

• Mentoring and guiding junior team members within a small, tight-knit technical group.

• Working on specialist mechanical systems, contributing to both design and development phases.

What they're Looking For:

To be successful, candidates must have hands-on experience in at least one of the following technical areas:

• Suspension systems

• Gearbox internals

• Hydraulic systems

• Clutch systems

Preferred Skills & Tools:

• Experience with Creo CAD software is ideal, but those with a strong 3D CAD background in other platforms will still be considered.

• Strong communication and leadership traits-this is just as much about character fit as it is capability.

If you're an engineer with a background in specialist drivetrain or motion-control components and you're looking to play a key role in a fast-evolving team, we'd love to hear from you.
