About the Position

At Managing Composites, we’re looking for a technical Project Engineer who thrives in the day-to-day reality of a project: supporting designers, unblocking issues, coordinating with suppliers, and keeping the technical flow moving.

This role is not a PM position focused on budgets, financials, or high-level strategy. Here, you’ll be the owner of a part or system working closely with all the functions involved in the project, including design, analysis, and manufacturing engineers, understanding parts and its function, defining cost/weight/technical targets, and making sure design progresses smoothly.

If you enjoy being hands-on with the technical side of projects, you’ll love it here.

Responsibilities

Ownership of the parts / systems assigned: understanding their function and challenges, setting cost/weight/technical targets, and identifying risks and opportunities during the development.
Work side-by-side with cross-functional engineers, helping to clarify requirements, breaking down tasks, reviewing designs, and challenging technical options when needed.
Act as the main problem-solver: set priorities, unblock missing information, chase dependencies, coordinate stakeholders, and remove obstacles so the team can move fast.
Drive delivery through planning and control: set and maintain a clear timeline aligned with the program plan, ensure engineers receive the right inputs at the right time, and track progress to keep milestones on schedule.
Communicate daily with suppliers/customers and internal teams (engineering, purchasing, workshop), including on-site visits when needed to accelerate decisions and issue resolution.
Maintain end-to-end technical tracking for assigned parts/systems: documentation, versions/changes, risks & opportunities, deliverables, and clear status updates to keep the team aligned.

Requirements

Strong technical understanding: Understanding how composite parts are designed and manufactured, familiarity with materials, layups, thicknesses, tolerances, GD&T, and overall design implications, able to discuss design decisions, evaluate alternatives, and support with technical judgment. (You don’t need to be a CAE or CAD engineer, but you do need to “speak engineering”.)
Comfortable working within budget and time constraints, planning resources, and collaborating with different stakeholders.
Problem-solving attitude: you don’t freeze when something goes wrong, you investigate, analyze, and propose solutions.
Competence with Excel and control sheets to ensure visibility and traceability.
Excellent habits for tracking work, maintaining logs, and keeping documentation tidy.
Comfortable talking to designers, suppliers, customers, and internal teams in English and Spanish.
To enjoy working in a hands-on with a proactive attitude.
Engineering degree ideal, but strong technical profiles with real workshop/design experience are welcome.

Perks

Flexible work arrangements: Work when and where you prefer.
Ongoing technical and soft skills training to support your professional growth.
Flexible compensation system.
Health Insurance.
Therapy: Access to mental health support through in-person and virtual sessions.
Gym access.
Mortgage advisor support.
TaxDown services for tax optimization.
23 working days of annual leave, plus 14 Bank Holidays and December 24th and 31st.
Focus on motivation and well-being: Various initiatives to support your happiness and satisfaction.

Why You’ll Enjoy This Role

Be close to the design and technical decision-making of cool composite components.
Learn deeply about composites, materials, manufacturing, and advanced engineering.
Work on exciting projects across automotive, mobility, motorsport, and more.
Grow technically while having real impact on project outcomes.
