Job description

Bring your energy to Aggreko as a Manufacturing Engineering Manager based in Lomondgate (Dumbarton). You'll lead and energise the Manufacturing Engineering function to design and implement safe, efficient and repeatable manufacturing processes that drive Operational Excellence improving cost, quality and delivery through continuous process improvement initiatives.

We're the global leader in providing energy solutions that help businesses grow and communities thrive. We work as a team and we're proud of the difference we make to customers, to local communities, and towards a sustainable future for the world. Power without pause. Heating, cooling and oil-free air without end. We keep our customers' worlds on. From world-class events that last a few weeks to mining operations and remote communities who rely on us for decades.

What you'll do as ME Manager:

• Lead and energise the Manufacturing Engineering function to design and implement safe, efficient, and repeatable manufacturing processes that drive Operational Excellence.
• Own end-to-end build cell and shopfloor layout design, including the controlled specification, implementation, and handover of bespoke and standard tooling.
• Align and resource the Manufacturing Engineering team to provide robust, day-to-day support to Production; work closely with Production, NPI, and Quality to remove constraints, resolve quality issues, and embed corrective actions.
• Ensure all production documentation (work instructions, assembly drawings, schematics, checklists, inspection cards) is available and current, and establish performance measurement and reporting.
• Manage departmental budgets, recruitment, training, and personnel matters to build a high-performing, "can-do" team.

You are:

• An inspirational people leader who "sells" a clear vision, leads from the front, and motivates teams to deliver stretch objectives.
• A proven production/manufacturing manager with a results-driven track record of meeting tight timescales while maintaining engineering and quality standards.
• Commercially astute with excellent customer-facing skills, able to represent the Manufacturing Engineering function and align engineering activity with business priorities.
• A strong team builder, skilled at selecting, coaching, and performance-managing individuals to create a flexible, high-performing, improvement-focused culture.
• A continuous improvement expert with Six Sigma experience in process analysis and improvements, strong planning and organisation, and the ability to quickly identify and resolve critical issues.

Here's what you'll get:

• A competitive salary and benefits package (including but not limited to pension plan, bonus scheme, and Life Assurance).
• Generous holiday entitlement, with option to 'buy' or 'sell'.
• A focus on continued personal development.
• Paid time off work for volunteering in the community.
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which helps promote and support a healthy lifestyle.

Our people are can-do, positive, resilient and persistent.
