About the Company

Our client is a technology organisation with a hand in both software consulting and SaaS product development. They build and deliver modern software solutions for organisations operating in the energy and infrastructure space, where reliability, long-term thinking, and real-world constraints actually matter. The business has strong roots in client-facing consulting work, partnering closely with customers to design and deliver custom software across complex environments. Alongside that, they’re actively investing in the growth of their own SaaS products, shifting toward a more product-led business model over time.

This is an organisation in the middle of meaningful change. Engineering teams are supporting live client work while also helping shape internal products that are expected to scale. Leadership is focused on creating clarity around ownership, improving how work flows across teams, and building an environment where people can do their best work without unnecessary process or chaos.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead multiple development teams across a mix of consulting projects and SaaS products.

This role sits at the intersection of people leadership, delivery accountability, and cross-team coordination.

You’ll be responsible for supporting ~15 developers today, with expected team growth over the next year. You’ll work closely with senior and staff-level engineers on technical direction, while owning the 'when and how' of delivery, including prioritisation, resourcing, and shifting work as priorities evolve. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands the realities of consulting environments, can manage multiple streams of work at once, and knows how to balance business needs with thoughtful people management.

This role is hybrid, with occasional on-site presence required for client meetings, project kickoffs, and major milestones. The expected on-site requirement is a maximum of 1 visit per month.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and support multiple engineering teams across consulting engagements and internal products.
• Manage delivery timelines, capacity planning, and prioritisation across several concurrent initiatives.
• Partner closely with senior and staff engineers on technical direction and execution planning.
• Provide clear people leadership, including regular feedback, performance management, and individual growth plans.
• Help establish team leads or acting leads as the organisation scales.
• Work closely with stakeholders to align on expectations, trade-offs, and delivery commitments.
• Navigate the differences between consulting work and SaaS product development, adjusting approach as needed.
• Proactively identify delivery risks and course correct when priorities shift.
• Support hiring efforts as teams grow.
