About this contract

About this position:

We are currently recruiting for a Project Engineer to support the restart and finalisation of an ongoing project at a large brewery. The project was previously paused and is now restarting, with the aim of increasing brewhouse capacity and allowing faster filling through the installation of new valve blocks and a dual filling system.
The equipment installation is approximately 90% complete, with the remaining scope focused on mechanical and electrical connections, commissioning, start-up and ramp-up. This role will take ownership of the project through to operational handover.

Job Responsibilities:

* Manage the restart and finalisation of the existing project.

* Supervise the mechanical and electrical connection of valve blocks.

* Coordinate contractors and ensure work is completed safely and to programme.

* Oversee commissioning, start-up and ramp-up activities.

* Support the implementation and operation of the dual filling system.

* Coordinate between mechanical, electrical and operational teams.

* Monitor project progress, identify issues and drive activities through to completion.

* Ensure all outstanding works are completed and the system is successfully handed over to operations.

Experience Required:

* Previous Project Engineering experience within an industrial environment.

* Strong experience with valve blocks, installation and commissioning.

* Good mechanical and electrical knowledge.

* Proven experience managing and coordinating contractors.

* Experience overseeing commissioning, start-up and ramp-up activities.

* Ability to take ownership of an existing project and drive it through to completion.

* Brewery, food & beverage or process industry experience would be advantageous.

* Strong communication, coordination and problem-solving skills
