  • Support the preparation of reports, proposals, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Troubleshoot mechanical or hydraulic systems as required.

Requirements:

  • Experience in mechanical, hydraulic, or general engineering environments is advantageous.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage competing priorities.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to work across multiple teams.

  • Experience with project coordination or support is a plus.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; CAD experience is beneficial but not essential.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary of £45k - £50k.

  • 26 days annual leave plus all UK bank holidays.

  • Hybrid working - enjoy flexibility between office and home.

  • Exposure to a variety of engineering projects across multiple departments.
