This is a permanent, site-based opportunity with a well-established engineering manufacturer, offering a senior-level remit and the backing to lead and improve how tooling is delivered from concept through to volume production.

This role suits a technically-driven leader with a background in Engineering, Manufacturing, Toolmaking, Machining, or other technical engineering backgrounds.

The Role:

Lead the Toolroom function end-to-end: new tooling delivery, maintenance strategy, and continuous improvement
Site-based in Beckenham, leading designers and toolmakers and collaborating with production/press shop and customers
Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week (daytime, exact start/finish times to be confirmed)

The Person:
