• Create, manage, and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), work instructions, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Issue comprehensive production work packs, including engineering drawings, BOMs, job travellers, and operational documentation
• Input and maintain accurate material, routing, and labour costing data within ERP/MRP manufacturing systems
• Administer Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and ensure strict configuration control across all manufacturing records
• Review actual booked production hours and lead times against targets, proactively investigating and resolving significant variances
• Act as a technical point of contact on the shop floor, resolving day-to-day manufacturing queries and engineering issues
• Review technical drawings and specifications to assess Design for Manufacture (DfM) suitability prior to release
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across production workflows, documentation standards, and digital manufacturing tools

Experiences required

• Proven track record as a Production Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, or Process Engineer within a manufacturing or precision engineering environment
• Hands-on experience developing and maintaining accurate BOMs, routings, and methods of manufacture
• Strong ability to read, interpret, and interrogate mechanical, structural, and fabrication drawings
• Practical working knowledge of ERP or MRP systems for tracking work and updating production records
• Working knowledge of 3D CAD platforms (e.g. SolidWorks) and Product Data Management (PDM) systems is highly desirable
• A background in marine engineering, shipbuilding, aluminium fabrication, defence, or heavy mechanical manufacturing is an advantage
