Production Engineer Mechanical Bias (70/30)
Location: Cullompton Team: Very small, hands-on Type: Full-Time Salary: GBP(phone number removed) DOE
Are you the kind of engineer who prefers working closely with one machine at a time, taking ownership end-to-end rather than being a small cog in a large production hall?
My client is a compact, tightly knit manufacturer near Cullompton, looking for a Production Engineer with a strong mechanical bias (70/30 mechanical/electrical) to join their small, skilled team.
What You ll Be Doing:
* Own the performance, fault-finding, and optimisation of individual machines one at a time.
* Carry out hands-on mechanical maintenance, setup, adjustments, and small upgrades.
* Tackle root-cause analysis when issues arise you ll be the go-to person for diagnosing and fixing.
* Support electrical/control systems at a secondary level (basic PLC interaction, sensors, wiring checks) no need to be a full electrical specialist.
* Collaborate with a tight-knit team (2 5 people), sharing ideas and driving improvements in a new facility (so new, it still smells of paint!)
* Suggest and implement practical changes your ideas will have direct impact.
About You:
* Strong mechanical aptitude (machinery, pneumatics, bearings, alignment, etc.)
* Comfortable with a 70/30 split: mainly mechanical with enough electrical understanding to support diagnostics.
* Self-motivated and hands-on used to working in small teams or solo.
* A natural problem-solver who digs into the why and fixes it properly.
* Experience working on individual machine systems rather than automated production lines is a plus.
Working hours:
* Monday to Thursday: 08 00
* Friday: 08 00
Preferred:
* HNC/HND or equivalent in Mechanical/Production Engineering.
* Background in small-scale manufacturing or bespoke machine environments.
* Basic knowledge of PLCs and electrical diagnostics (desirable, not essential).
Why Join My Client:
* Real autonomy you work on one machine, see the results, and aren t lost in layers of process.
* Small, friendly team where your voice and ideas matter.
* Enjoy project-style variety each machine presents a new challenge.
* Down-to-earth, practical workplace
* Convenient Cullompton location, with easy access
* Access to a fantastic healthcare scheme
* Death in service
