A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Manufacturing Systems Trainer to join an innovative digital transformation team responsible for delivering cutting‑edge systems and capability into a specialist automotive facility. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast‑moving environments, enjoys translating complex technical content into accessible learning, and takes pride in preparing end users for new ways of working.
This position sits within a wider Business Systems Delivery function, bridging technical delivery and real‑world adoption across operations. The team ensures large‑scale manufacturing system deployments land smoothly, are understood clearly, and are adopted effectively across the organisation.

The Manufacturing Systems Trainer will play a central role in ensuring end users are fully prepared, confident, and capable when new digital tools, processes, and features are deployed. Working closely with testing, business process, technology, and communications teams, the trainer will assess impacts, create learning pathways, deliver training, and support the organisation through adoption.

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
* Competitive pay at £25 per hour via umbrella.
* Long‑term 12‑month contract.
* Opportunity to support cutting‑edge manufacturing transformation.
* A hands‑on role with real impact on operational readiness and adoption.
* Structured hours: Monday‑Friday, 9am‑5pm.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident, organised, people‑focused trainer to play a key role in delivering digital transformation across a high‑profile automotive manufacturing environment.
