• Design and develop manufacturing tooling and processes to support the production of metallic systems
• Create, maintain, and improve manufacturing instructions and standard operating procedures
• Support the industrialisation of new products, using structured project management approaches
• Provide engineering support to production, optimising tooling and processes for existing products
• Work closely with suppliers to source and manage replacement tooling
• Use root cause and corrective action (RCCA) techniques to resolve production issues
• Lead continuous improvement projects from concept through to implementation
• Uphold engineering and production standards, including 5S principles
• Evaluate and improve process efficiency through time and motion studies
• Use cost data to assess cost-effective manufacturing methods and design decisions
• Apply a range of continuous improvement tools to enhance production performance

Skills & Experience for the appointed Manufacturing Engineer:

• Ability to create manufacturing sequences for multi-level assemblies
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise in a changing environment
• Experience using MRP systems
• A proactive, self-starting mindset with the ability to rapidly iterate and improve processes
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, to drive tasks to completion
• Ability to interpret cost data to support capital investment decisions
• Experience with welding processes and non-destructive testing is desirable
• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g. MS Project) is desirable
• Experience conducting make vs buy assessments using cost data is desirable

Education

• Degree in an engineering or science discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant industry experience

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing manufacturing environment where you’ll gain exposure to end-to-end engineering activities, enjoy flexible working hours, and benefit from an early finish every Friday.
