Engineering
Immediate Start
£55k - £75k Annual
Full-Time
Lead Engineer
Altera Recruitment Group is partnering with a pioneering Clean-Tech scale-up that is rethinking how advanced materials are manufactured and reused. Their technology is already running at pilot scale. The first full production system is now being built.
They need a Lead Engineer who wants more than just another project.
This is a chance as the Lead Engineer to take real ownership of a flagship industrial machine and play a defining role in scaling breakthrough sustainable technology into commercial reality. You will not be another cog in a large corporate structure. You will be the person who makes it work.
What makes this different
* Taking full technical ownership of a large scale production machine from concept to commissioning.
* Transform a proven pilot into industrial output across aerospace, automotive and renewables markets.
* You will shape how engineering is done as the company grows, with a clear path to building and leading your own team.
* Working across mechanical, electrical and process systems in a genuinely multidisciplinary environment.
* You will see the direct impact of your work on sustainability, cost reduction and manufacturing efficiency.
Who this suits
* An all round Lead Engineer with 8+ years in special purpose or process machinery.
* Someone comfortable designing, specifying, integrating and getting hands on when needed.
* An engineer who enjoys autonomy and thrives where decisions matter.
* A technically broad individual with mechanical depth and electrical or controls exposure.
* Someone motivated by building something long term, not just maintaining what already exists.
What you'll receive:
* A salary of £55,000-£75,000, depending on experience.
* Discretionary company bonus up to 15%
* 28 days holiday + bank holidays
* Flexible/hybrid working.
The business is funded, growing and at a pivotal stage. Engineering is the core risk and the core opportunity. This hire is about strengthening capability and unlocking scale
