• Maintain production schedules and visual controls, tracking work orders, capacity, work in progress and completion status
• Confirm the availability of materials, tooling, documentation, facilities and trained resources before production begins
• Identify bottlenecks, shortages and quality or technical constraints, escalating issues and coordinating recovery actions with relevant teams
• Provide accurate production updates, forecasts and performance information to programme stakeholders and support planning reviews
• Drive efficient throughput and continuous improvement while maintaining quality, configuration, traceability, safety and contamination-control requirements
• Maintain an organised production environment and promote effective housekeeping, foreign object debris prevention and safe working practices

Job Requirements:

• ONC, HNC, apprenticeship or equivalent experience in manufacturing, production engineering or a related discipline
• Experience coordinating production within composites, aerospace, space or another high-precision regulated manufacturing environment
• Strong planning and organisational skills, with the ability to balance competing priorities and maintain production flow
• Ability to interpret build plans, engineering documentation, routings and production data
• Experience using ERP or MRP systems is desirable
• Working knowledge of quality, configuration, traceability and non-conformance controls within a controlled manufacturing environment
• Clear communication skills, confident stakeholder coordination and a practical, proactive approach to resolving production issues
• Strong understanding of composite manufacturing processes and the importance of safety, cleanliness and production discipline

Benefits:

• Permanent opportunity within the aerospace and space technology sector
• Opportunity to support the manufacture of high-precision spacecraft hardware
• Collaborative working environment involving manufacturing, engineering, planning and quality teams
• Scope to contribute to continuous improvement and production efficiency initiatives
