Process Improvement Engineer

Do you enjoy travelling and building relationships with customers? Do you enjoy problem solving customer issues, giving technical guidance and creating solutions using best-in-class products? Do you want to be part of a very friendly and supportive team, treated and respected as an individual whose contribution to the growth of our organisation is welcomed and valued?

We have a very strong product offering and need someone on the road visiting customer production and manufacturing sites to showcase what we offer and how it can improve productivity and health and safety, as well as saving time and money. Experience of engineering and exposure to hygienic production sites would be helpful, but full training will be provided.

ProSpare is a well-established, family-owned company. We apply our Make it better approach to help our customers achieve improved productivity, safety, and product quality. ProSpare is the UK distributor for the BFM® fitting, the world's first snap-in flexible connector.

This is an excellent opportunity to further your career in a pivotal role in a small but successful team, where you will receive in-depth training and be influential in the further growth of our organisation. Each week will vary, but as a guideline your time will be split 70% on the road and 30% in the office.
