🚀 We’re hiring: Project Engineer (Manchester, Hybrid)
Fractory is reshaping the manufacturing industry — and we’re growing fast. To keep up, we’re looking for a Project Engineer who’s both analytical and hands-on, loves solving technical puzzles, and thrives in a collaborative team where no two days are the same.
You’ll be the bridge between customer ideas and real-world manufacturing. That means reviewing drawings, identifying the best production approach, and keeping projects running smoothly from quote to delivery.
🔧 You’ll thrive in this role if you…
✔ Have 3+ years of experience in engineering or manufacturing
✔ Use CAD confidently (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, etc.)
✔ Are based near Manchester and can come into the office a few times a week
✔ Like structure but handle fast-changing environments with ease
✔ Enjoy problem-solving and finding better ways of doing things
✨ Bonus points if you’ve worked with CRMs, have project management experience, or have a mechanical engineering degree.
🛠 What you’ll do:
- Analyse customer specifications, drawings, and requirements to assess manufacturability and identify potential risks
- Recommend optimal designs and materials for manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and quality
- Prepare accurate and competitive quotes based on production costs, timeline estimates, quality, and material procurement
- Collaborate with the sales team to align quotes with customer expectations and project constraints
- Proactively identify and resolve issues throughout production, minimising delays and ensuring smooth execution
- Participate or take the lead on the problem-solving process for troubled orders, and effectively communicate with sales, suppliers, and customers to resolve issues
- Work continually with our suppliers' network to improve performance
- Manage communication and collaboration with internal teams and external partners
- Collaborate with your team to identify and implement improvements that continually refine our processes and workflows
🎁 What you get:
- 💸 Competitive salary
- 📈 Equity options
- 🏖 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- 🧘 Juno flexible benefits platform
- 💊 MediCash healthcare reimbursement
- 💼 Pension scheme (3% from Fractory)
- 🎉 Regular team events & socials

- 🚲 Cycle to Work scheme

📅 Hiring process (quick & clear):
- 30-min intro call with our recruiter
- 30-min tech/team-fit chat
- Office visit to meet a team for a brief tech assessment
