Configuration Engineer

Configuration Engineer - PLM Transformation | Remote Contract (Initial onboarding requires 4 days onsite - the rest remote)

I'm working with an established UK engineering organisation supporting a major transformation of its engineering systems and processes.

They're implementing a new Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system and need a Configuration Engineer to support the transition of engineering data, CAD designs and associated documentation into the new environment.

This is a hands‑on role working closely with engineering and project teams to understand existing design information, ensure configuration accuracy and support the successful adoption of the new PLM system.

The role:

• Work closely with engineers and project teams to understand existing CAD designs, engineering data and documentation.
• Support the migration and configuration of engineering information into the new PLM system.
• Ensure engineering data is accurate, structured and appropriately controlled.
• Apply configuration management principles across engineering designs, documentation and product information.
• Support the wider PLM transformation, helping establish effective processes and best practices.

What we're looking for:

• Background in Configuration Engineering, Configuration Management or CAD Design.
• Experience working with engineering drawings, CAD data and technical documentation.
• Understanding of PLM/PDM systems and engineering configuration control.
• Comfortable working across engineering teams to gather, validate and organise technical information.

Defence experience is not essential. We're equally interested in individuals from commercial engineering environments.

• Initial 6-month contract
• Remote working following onboarding
• Initial 4 days for onboarding onsite in Barnstaple, North Devon
• BPSS screening will be conducted
