Are you a Toolroom Manager looking for a high-impact, technically-led leadership role where you can own a critical function at the heart of manufacturing? Do you want engineering projects, internal training, and genuine responsibility in a stable, permanent position?

This is a permanent, site-based opportunity with a well-established engineering manufacturer, offering a senior-level remit and the backing to lead and improve how tooling is delivered from concept through to volume production.

This role suits a technically-driven leader with a background in Engineering, Manufacturing, Toolmaking, Machining, or other technical engineering backgrounds.

The Role:

• Lead the Toolroom function end-to-end: new tooling delivery, maintenance strategy, and continuous improvement
• Site-based in Beckenham, leading designers and toolmakers and collaborating with production/press shop and customers
• Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week (daytime, exact start/finish times to be confirmed)

The Person:

• Experienced engineering/manufacturing manager with strong people leadership
• Engineering mindset with project delivery capability across design-to-production environments
• Comfortable leading skilled technical teams and taking accountability for delivery, cost, and priorities
