Product Engineer - Testing, Investigation & Product Development

Product Engineer
Testing, Investigation & Product Improvement

South Kent

£35,000 - £50,000 DOE + bens + progression

A product fails. A component changes. A supplier issue threatens production. You are the Engineer who works out why - and what happens next.

We are recruiting exclusively for an established international organisation seeking a practical, commercially aware Engineer to support and improve an established product range.

This is not a pure design role. You will investigate technical problems, test solutions, manage changes and work across engineering, quality, manufacturing and supply chain to keep products performing.

The role

* Investigate product, component and manufacturing issues through to resolution

* Plan and carry out engineering tests, then interpret and document the results

* Support product changes, improvements and corrective actions

* Review drawings, specifications and technical documentation, using CAD when required

* Work with internal teams and external suppliers in the UK and internationally

* Take ownership of technical actions and keep projects moving

You must have:

* Professional engineering experience in a product, manufacturing or similarly technical environment

* At least a degree level qualification in a relevant Mechanical Engineering discipline

* Strong fault-finding, testing and analytical skills

* Confidence interpreting engineering drawings, specifications and technical data

* Some CAD experience and the practical judgement to know when a design change is needed

* A structured, proactive approach with the confidence to question, investigate and take ownership

* Experience in a highly regulated, quality-led industry

* The Right to Work in the UK permanently without sponsorship

What is on offer

* £35,000 - £50,000, depending on experience

* Generous benefits package

* Hybrid working with regular time at the Kent office (you must live in Kent or be happy to relocate)

* Varied work across problem-solving, testing, product improvement and technical projects

* International exposure within a specialist team backed by a larger global organisation

Scope to take on greater technical ownership as your experience develops

This opportunity can flex around your level. A capable Engineer can grow into broader responsibility, while a more experienced hire can lead complex projects and technical decisions from the outset.

Please note: this is not a graduate role. Applicants must have unrestricted UK working rights, a full UK driving licence and their own transport. Sponsorship is not available
Only candidates based in UK and eligible to work in UK are allowed
