The Role
Due to continued growth and an expanding project portfolio, the company is seeking to appoint an additional Process Engineer. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, documenting, and optimising manufacturing processes for new production parts within rubber moulding operations, including injection, compression, and transfer moulding, as well as associated assembly processes.
This position requires a hands-on Process Engineer with strong problem-solving abilities, capable of working cross-functionally and taking ownership of projects from initial concept through to production handover within a team environment. As the Process Engineer, you would have gained experience working within the rubber or plastic industry as an advantage.
Key Responsibilities
Process Development
* Develop and document production processes for rubber moulding and related assembly operations.
* Support new product introduction by determining robust moulding parameters and process flow.
* Work with internal and external teams on tooling design, product feasibility, and process improvement.
Technical Areas May Include
* Injection, compression, and transfer moulding processes.
* Rubber testing and measurement in collaboration with the in-house laboratory.
* Rubber-to-metal and rubber-to-substrate bonding processes.
* Tooling development with support from CAD, in‑house tooling engineers, and suppliers.
* Finishing, trimming, and inspection processes.
Production Support
* Investigate and resolve production issues on the shop floor, including root cause analysis and corrective actions.
* Happy to be flexible and operate production equipment if required to support urgent needs.
* Train machine operators on new processes and ensure smooth handover to production teams.
Project & Quality Ownership
* Manage individual projects and timelines to meet customer and internal requirements.
* Evaluate and control critical quality characteristics of rubber-based products.
* Ensure all processes meet safety, quality, and performance standards.
Requirements
* Understanding of injection, compression, or transfer moulding (experience in all three is a strong advantage).
* Practical, hands-on approach with the ability to learn and operate rubber moulding machinery.
* Ability to assess and interpret key quality characteristics of rubber components.
* Previous experience working within the rubber or plastic experience, either as a process engineer or quality inspector looking to move into a process role.
Desired Skills
* Experience working in a fast-paced production environment.
* Ability to work effectively within cross‑functional and multicultural teams.
* Strong communication, teamwork, and analytical problem-solving skills
