NMB UK Ltd, part of the global MinebeaMitsumi Aerospace Group (14 international sites), is a precision engineering manufacturer specialising in high-performance aerospace bearings.

Key Responsibilities:

Deliver and enhance a business turnaround strategy to stabilise and grow a site of 260+ staff
Lead full P&L, budgeting, and CAPEX responsibilities for the site
Drive lean manufacturing, OEE improvement, and cost control across machining operations
Ensure compliance with aerospace standards (AS9100, NADCAP) and customer quality requirements
Rebuild morale and foster engagement after recent leadership transitions
Champion shop-floor leadership, safety culture, and process improvement

What We’re Looking For:

Aerospace manufacturing leader with experience in precision machining or complex assemblies
Strong track record of turnaround success and performance transformation
Site-level P&L ownership, lean/CI methodologies, and ERP (MAPICS or similar)
Hands-on leadership style with the ability to rebuild trust and drive accountability
Commercial acumen and pricing strategy experience

Preferred:

Degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or Business; Master’s ideal
Background in mid-sized manufacturing operations (£30M+ revenue, 150+ staff)
Experience in global corporate environments, especially Japanese-led structures

This is more than a leadership role — it’s an opportunity to leave a lasting impact on a business with advanced capabilities and untapped potential. If you're motivated by challenge, transformation, and operational excellence, we’d love to hear from you.
