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

£300 per day Inside IR35 | 6 Months | 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.

Contract details:

  • £300 per day – Inside IR35
  • Initial 6-month contract
  • Remote working following onboarding
  • Initial 4 days for onboarding onsite in Barnstaple, North Devon
  • BPSS screening will be conducted

Interviews are being arranged immediately, with slots available for this coming Monday. – Any applications recieved today (Friday) will be prioritised and stronger liklihood of securing an interview and the role.

If you’re interested, please apply with your CV.
