Full job descriptionEngineering Manager (Electrical Bias)
Chesterfield
£55,000
Days
Are you an experienced Engineering Manager with a strong electrical background looking for a role where you can stay hands-on while leading a team? This is a brilliant opportunity to join a forward-thinking manufacturing business in Chesterfield, offering a genuine 50/50 split between hands-on engineering and people management.
The Role
As Engineering Manager, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day engineering function within a close-knit, collaborative team. You’ll be equally comfortable picking up the tools as you are leading and developing your engineers - this isn’t a desk-only role, and the business values a manager who leads from the front.
*Managing and mentoring a small engineering team
*Hands-on fault-finding, maintenance, and improvement work across electrical systems
*Driving PPM schedules and reactive maintenance activities
*Identifying and delivering continuous improvement projects
*Working closely with operations and production to minimise downtime
*Supporting the development and upskilling of your team
What We’re Looking For
*Strong electrical bias with a recognised qualification (City & Guilds, HNC/HND, or equivalent)
*Proven background in a manufacturing or industrial engineering environment
*Previous supervisory or management experience - or a senior engineer ready to step up
*Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-paced environment
*A natural leader with strong communication skills
The Package
*Salary: £55,000
*Days-based role - no shifts
*Small, stable team with a supportive culture
*Real autonomy and influence over the engineering function
