An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to join an ambitious and growing business at a pivotal stage of its development.

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

• 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.
