Engineering 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
