This is a rare opportunity to help shape a production environment from the ground up, taking products from development into repeatable, efficient manufacturing. You'll play a key role in designing manufacturing processes, implementing production systems and driving continuous improvement.
Working closely with Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain and Quality, you'll be instrumental in creating robust manufacturing processes that support future growth and operational excellence.
The Role
You'll be responsible for industrialising new products and developing manufacturing processes that deliver quality, efficiency and repeatability.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading the transition from product development into production
Developing manufacturing processes and assembly methodologies
Converting Engineering Bills of Materials into Manufacturing Bills of Materials
Driving DFM
Producing manufacturing documentation including SOPs, work instructions, PFMEAs and control plans
Designing efficient production layouts, material flow and assembly processes
Specifying tooling, fixtures and production equipment
Supporting capital equipment projects from concept through to commissioning
Evaluating automation opportunities and future manufacturing technologies
About You
We're looking for an engineer who enjoys solving manufacturing challenges and wants to make a genuine impact within a growing organisation.
You'll ideally have:
Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering or similar
At least 5 years' experience within a Production Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering role
Experience within complex manufacturing environments such as automotive, aerospace, defence, commercial vehicles or similar
Experience developing manufacturing processes and production documentation
CAD experience
Excellent problem solving and communication skills
Desirable Experience
Automation and robotics
Digital manufacturing
What's on Offer
This is an opportunity to become one of the key engineers within a growing manufacturing business where your ideas and expertise will genuinely shape the future of production.
If you're looking for a role where you can build manufacturing systems rather than simply maintain existing ones, we'd love to hear from you
