This is an opportunity to join a business that continues to invest in its people, processes and capability, working on genuinely varied, high-profile engineering projects rather than routine, repeat-pattern work.

Our client delivers world-class work across Defence, Aerospace, Nuclear, Sports & Entertainment and Infrastructure, and continued growth means they're now looking to strengthen their delivery team with an experienced Project Engineer based in Sheffield.
