ISQ Recruitment is supporting a Norfolk-based engineering company looking to bring a Production Engineer into their team. This is a hands-on, practical role focused on improving build processes, supporting tooling design, and helping to scale up production for an expanding product range.
This opportunity would suit someone with experience in a production, tooling or manufacturing support role; but could also suit someone from a technician or shopfloor background looking to step into engineering.
The Role:
* Support the design and introduction of jigs, fixtures, and build tooling
* Help improve build sequences and reduce changeover/setup times
* Collaborate with engineers and technicians during build trials
* Suggest practical improvements to product design for manufacture
* Contribute to basic documentation (work instructions, process notes, checklists)
* Assist with sourcing and implementing new tools or small equipment
* Work closely with production to support training and issue resolution
* Get involved in lean improvements, workplace layout, and process changes
* Maintain safe working practices and support team-based problem solving
What We're Looking For:
* Experience in a production, tooling, or hands-on engineering role
* Comfortable using CAD (Creo preferred, but not essential)
* Strong understanding of manufacturing principles and practical build methods
* Able to interpret technical drawings and work with technicians
* Self-motivated, flexible, and team-focused
* Own transport due to rural location
* Full right to work in the UK; visa sponsorship is not available
* Experience with jigs, fixtures, or basic test rigs
* Exposure to lean manufacturing, 5S, or process improvement
* Familiarity with tooling layouts, PFMEA or quality documentation
Why Apply?
* Practical, hands-on engineering role with variety
* Opportunity to develop tooling and improve real-world build processes
* 12-month contract with potential for long-term opportunity
* Monday to Friday schedule, no shift work
* Well-run, growing engineering business with supportive team
