Equipment Engineer

Role Overview:
We're hiring two experienced Equipment Engineers to support a large-scale re-validation and equipment relocation programme at a high-volume medical device manufacturing facility. The site is undergoing major upgrades involving several hundred units of legacy and automated equipment, including advanced robotic systems operating under specialised conditions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver equipment re-validations and relocation support for a broad portfolio of manufacturing assets
• Independently author and execute validation protocols (IQ, OQ, PQ)
• Generate qualification documentation using internal templates and technical inputs
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, quality, and operations
• Drive compliance with internal standards and external regulatory expectations
• Maintain comprehensive documentation aligned with audit readiness
• Support continuous improvement initiatives targeting equipment efficiency and reliability

Key Requirements:

• Degree-qualified engineer (minimum Level 7 with 5+ years' experience; Level 8 preferred)
• 6+ years' experience in regulated or high-spec manufacturing (medtech, general manufacturing, or high-speed food/bev preferred; sterile pharma not ideal)
• Proven ability to draft validation documentation independently - not just review or edit
• Exposure to equipment lifecycle activities including commissioning, FAT, and troubleshooting
• Experience with robotics, automated handling, or mechanically complex systems beneficial
• Familiarity with PLC-based control systems (e.g. Siemens, Orlacon, or similar)
