Are you a hands‑on Manufacturing Engineer with a strong background in welding, fabrication, or mechanical engineering, looking for a role where you can take ownership of manufacturing processes, develop practical solutions, and make a direct impact across a growing production facility?

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a renowned, well‑established manufacturer, where you'll have the autonomy to develop and implement your own processes whilst working closely with a highly collaborative engineering and production team across a state‑of‑the‑art facility.

Now is the time to join this growing, industry leading organisation, recognised for their quality, innovation and professional development - as they continue to expand their product lines, manufacturing capabilities, and engineering operations.

In this hands‑on, technical role, you'll work closely with the shop floor to streamline manufacturing processes, support machine builds and run‑offs, develop fixtures and tooling, and help launch new product lines. You'll also work with CAD drawings, ERP/MRP systems, BOMs, and plant layouts to improve manufacturing processes and ensure products are efficiently brought from design into production.

This position is ideal for a Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Process Engineer, or similar with a strong background in welding, fabrication, or machine‑based manufacturing, looking for the autonomy to drive practical improvements, take ownership of projects, and play a key role in developing manufacturing excellence across the facility.

The Role:

• Lead hands‑on manufacturing projects focused on improving production processes, machine builds, run‑offs, fixtures, tooling, and new product launches.
• Develop and optimise manufacturing processes, facility layouts, workflows, and 2D CAD drawings to improve efficiency and streamline production.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering and Production teams, using ERP/MRP systems, BOMs, CAD, and continuous improvement principles to implement practical manufacturing solutions.

The Candidate:

• Experience as a Manufacturing Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Process Engineer, or similar, ideally within welding, fabrication, or industrial machinery, manufacturing environment.
• Strong hands‑on knowledge of MIG welding and fabrication processes, ideally with experience developing fixtures, tooling, or manufacturing processes.
• Experience with AutoCAD or similar CAD software, with knowledge of ERP/MRP systems, BOMs, and manufacturing processes.
• Engineering qualification or relevant technical background, with an analytical, curious, adaptable, and hands‑on approach to solving manufacturing problems.

The salary advertised is the bracket available for this position. The actual salary paid will be dependent on your level of experience, qualifications and skill set. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
