Project Engineer

About Us

At Beaufort, our Engineering team is responsible for developing everything from initial concept to final product design. This includes envisioning new products, evolving existing lines, and delivering solutions that align with our customers' safety needs and our brand values. Our engineers combine world-class reliability with functional innovation to support Beaufort’s vision: to be the most trusted provider of safety services.

Job Summary

Working within the Test and Qualification team, you will play a key role in organising and executing project activities in support of product qualification. You will generate technical documentation and liaise with the engineering, production, finance and production disciplines to ensure project plans are realised.

Analytical, organised and effective communicators will thrive in this role and enjoy the day-to-day variety it offers. It is a great opportunity for a less experienced engineer to learn Beaufort’s business and have a significant impact on products used in survival critical environments. Although initially focused on project delivery and administration, the role will develop into a multi-disciplined engineer who acts as a product qualification and technical cornerstone for the business.
