The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Project Engineer to join a growing engineering team in Limavady. This hands-on role is ideal for someone with 2-3 years' experience who enjoys taking ownership of projects from start to finish.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop project plans and budgets, ensuring milestones are achieved on time and within cost.
  • Source suppliers and purchase equipment in line with engineering specifications.
  • Manage and distribute technical drawings and documentation to subcontractors.
  • Visit subcontractor sites to oversee production, carry out quality checks, and resolve issues.
  • Lead FAT tests, site preparation and commissioning activities, including all health & safety documentation.
  • Act as the main point of contact for clients, providing updates, solutions, and progress reports.
  • Support contract management, including compensation events and quotations.
  • Provide financial reporting on costs, invoicing, and project budgets.
  • Ensure health, safety, environmental, and quality standards are upheld across all activities.

About You
Essential

  • Degree (or equivalent) in an engineering discipline (mechanical or similar).
  • 2-3 years' experience in a project engineering role.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Project.
  • Full, clean UK driving licence and access to a car.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally across the UK, including overnight stays.

Desirable

  • Experience within the water or wastewater industry.
  • Familiarity with NEC contracts.
  • Experience in a fabrication/manufacturing environment.

What's on Offer

  • Salary: £33,000 - £37,000 (depending on experience).
  • Monday - Friday working week.
  • Hybrid working available following probation.
  • Opportunity to gain experience across all aspects of project delivery.

If you're a motivated Project Engineer looking for variety, responsibility, and the chance to develop your career within a supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
