As a UK DC Project Engineer you work alongside process and construction teammates to build a brand-new Distribution Centre befitting of one of the most iconic and innovative global brands. The ambition is clear, build a ground-breaking omni-channel DC encompassing the best innovation, automation, and iconic design. The role requires effective and positive relationships with internal partners as well as with key industry players to align the best of our leading European Logistics Campus (ELC) vision with the latest in Material Handling innovation and design.
WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON
As one of a team of project engineers you will be deployed during the entire project process, from detailed design all the way through to completion and acceptance so that a well-functioning installation can be handed over once the DC launches.
As part of the Automation team you will contribute to the design and then own implementation of an optimal and efficient material handling solution. This will involve deep understanding and experience with all aspects of material handling equipment / automation (mechanical, electrical and controls).

Using standard methodologies and your experience you engage the internal and external partners and teammates to achieve strong results.
You ensure sound project management control, structured communication & guard timelines and budget accordingly.
WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH
As a Project Engineer you will form part of the Process & MHE team reporting into the Process and MHE Director for the UK DC Program. The MHE team consists of several Project Engineers, a Data Modeller, an Automation SME & a CAD technician.
Leveraging connections and sharing best practices, youll also work closely with the wider Distribution Build team based out of our European Logistics Campus in Belgium.
WHAT YOU BRING
Professional qualification in engineering or equivalent through experience, you are familiar with all aspects of automation (mechanical, electrical & controls).
Experience in independently leading and realising technical projects in a highly automated environment.
An affinity and curiosity about material handling systems.
You know what is moving in the MHE market, and use this knowledge to devise simple, flexible and scalable logistics solutions.
You take personal responsibility for the realisation of the project.
You enjoy teamwork, working with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment.
Problem-solving ability and driven for results.
Strong formal and informal communication skills.
Knowledge of norms and regulations regarding electrical installations.
A high-performance mentality: bias for action, drive for results while demonstrating positive attitude and enthusiasm.
