Job Description

Engineering Manager

We are extremely excited to be recruiting for an Engineering Manager on behalf of one of our key clients that is a market leader in communication technology used with civil and defence systems.

You’ll have responsibility for multiple projects in the millions of pounds which will also be increasing. The selected Engineering Manager will play a key role in delivering both objectives.

The role does require an engineering design background in either electronics or embedded software within a product development environment.
