Production Engineer

Application Deadline: 2026-10-28T05:02:41.267

Job Description

Teconnex UK is seeking a Production Engineer to join our team in Keighley, England, United Kingdom (On-site). We are looking for an experienced engineer who can help shape the next generation of our manufacturing capability. This is a hands‑on, high-impact role at the heart of Operations, with a clear mandate: make manufacturing safer, smarter, faster, and more reliable.

You will take ownership of existing manufacturing processes while identifying and delivering improvements through automation, lean manufacturing, digitalisation, advanced process control, and Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies.

The Challenge

• Identify opportunities and turn them into measurable results across:




• Automation & process engineering: robotics, vision systems, poka-yoke, and automated inspection


• Operational excellence: improving cycle times, yield, labour efficiency, capacity, and equipment utilisation


• Quality at source: engineering defects out of processes rather than relying on inspection


• Lean manufacturing: Lean/Six Sigma, Standard Work, 5S, TPM, SMED, and Kaizen


• New Product Introduction: using PFMEA, Control Plans, and DFM principles to deliver robust production launches

Who Are We Looking For?

We are interested in speaking with Production, Manufacturing, or Process Engineers who have built their careers in complex, high-volume, quality-critical manufacturing environments. Ideally, you bring strong experience in automation and continuous improvement, backed by practical knowledge of manufacturing processes, and can take projects from conception to implementation on the shop floor.

Experience within Tier 1 Automotive or Aerospace manufacturing is particularly valuable, as well as exposure to IATF 16949 / AS9100, robotics, vision systems, CNC machining, pressing, forming, rolling, or welding. You should be comfortable using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks and able to collaborate with stakeholders across Production, Maintenance, Quality, HSE, Supply Chain, R&D, and senior management.

A relevant engineering degree is preferred, though strong industry experience is equally important.

Why This Role?

This is not a firefighting Production Engineering position; the goal is to prevent issues proactively. TECONNEX is committed to safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance, with Production Engineering playing a key role in achieving these aims.

If you are the type of engineer who walks through a factory and immediately identifies opportunities to automate, simplify, mistake-proof, and improve, we want to hear from you. Please ensure you have the right to work in the UK when applying—no sponsorship is available for this role.

Teconnex is part of the Hexadex group, an employee-owned business.
