Production Engineer - Electromechanical Manufacturing (Access Control Systems)
Are you a hands‑on Production Engineer with a knack for improving manufacturing processes and a passion for innovation? We’re working with a well‑established manufacturer of electromechanical systems, based in Wimborne, who are looking for a proactive engineer to help elevate their production performance to the next level.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward‑thinking SME environment, where your ideas for continuous improvement and process optimisation won’t just be heard – they’ll shape how the company grows.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Develop and refine manufacturing processes for precision electromechanical assemblies (including magnetic locking systems)
* Identify bottlenecks, implement process improvements, and create clear SOPs and work instructions
* Drive quality and compliance initiatives in line with ISO 9001 standards
* Lead root cause analysis and corrective action projects to improve reliability and reduce defects
* Support tooling, jigs, and semi‑automation projects – from design to commissioning
* Collaborate across design, production, and supplier teams to ensure seamless operations
* Track and analyse key metrics such as yield, cycle time, and scrap rate using data‑driven tools (SPC, Six Sigma, etc.)
About You
* Hold an HND or higher in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or have equivalent hands‑on experience)
* Bring 3+ years’ experience in a manufacturing or process engineering role, ideally within electromechanical or assembly environments
* Are confident with CAD software (AutoCAD, Fusion 360 preferred)
* Have a practical understanding of Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement tools
* Thrive in an SME or low‑volume/high-mix environment
* Are naturally curious, proactive, and keen to take ownership of production challenges
Why Apply?
* Take on more process ownership and responsibility
* Drive automation and efficiency projects
* Develop toward a senior or leadership role within a growing, innovative business
* Enjoy the balance of hands‑on engineering and analytical process work
