How would you like a chance to be master of your own destiny & create your own career path?

Let’s be honest, there aren’t many companies that can offer that when it comes down to it.

Most of them probably say they have “growth plans”, but what does that really mean?  The number with the cash available to fund CAPEX is a fair amount smaller, with even fewer actually putting their hands in their pockets.  This one’s a little bit different…

A merger with a key customer at the end of 2022 has given them an opportunity to open out into new premises already, as well as securing their long term future with intercompany sales.  They still have the freedom to make their own decisions & do all the things that made them great in the first place, just with more money to invest in the growth of the company and its people.  Over time, they’re working to bring most of their manufacturing in house too.

All of that is positive for the company, obviously.  For you, you’ll have to balance the fact that any transition / growth phase can be challenging with any potential up sides of coming through the other side.  There’s every chance you could be running a Project team in a few years and taking a path to more senior leadership, but at the same time you might not feel totally comfortable with the “small company” mentality where everyone has to muck in a little bit to get things over the line. 

Initially, you’ll be managing multiple projects to the value of around £2m per year (a couple of big design and build projects with a scattering of “spares & parts” ones to keep you on your toes).  Your experience working in materials handling systems and large industrial plant equipment will come in really handy here.  The more commercial exposure you’ve had in the past, the better, because you’ll ideally be taking inbound enquiries all the way through to commissioning.  Being able to use Inventor/AutoCAD would be a big bonus in the sales & early design phases of the project, though I’d imagine you could function without that in the first place so it’s not a dealbreaker.

Salary wise, I’d expect this to fall in the region of £45k to start with, though there’s a commitment (and a track record, importantly) for reviewing performance and increasing salary as your time and influence in the business grows.

Are you looking to transition from never being in the office to getting back at the desk, not travelling as much?

Not only that, but do you fancy yourself as someone who could lead a team in the future? You’d have the option of going through leadership training to become the first piece of the puzzle as this business grows their electrical division.

Even though its mainly office based you’ll still have to travel to sites now and then, sometimes on short notice, but this would be pretty rare so for the majority of the year you will be able to get home to the family and into your own bed at night.

You’ll be dealing with multi-million-pound projects as business is busier than ever and their growth plans are really impressive for the next few years. They’ve already got a new, modern site with inbuilt offices, there’s a proper emphasis on the culture too, with a really family feel when you walk through the doors and see the team interacting with each other, they’re often attending socials together.

Now for the job itself, you’ll oversee system design and specification at sales, you’ll oversee panel design and manufacture ensuring all standards are met and on time, plus oversee the PLC/HMI systems software development and commissioning ensuring quality. Basically, you’ll oversee the full project life cycle.

So, if you have a good level of electrical and PLC knowledge and you’re able to liaise with different departments internally and externally, there’s a good chance that you’ll be a good fit for this.

To begin with you can expect the salary to fall in the region of £45k.
