Overview
If you’re an experienced Production Engineer who thrives on bringing new products to life and making manufacturing smoother, this is one you’ll want to look at. You’ll be joining a well-established engineering business with a brilliant reputation for designing and building complex electro-mechanical assemblies. The role sits within their Engineering team, supporting new product introductions from concept through to full production — making sure everything is efficient, safe, and built right first time.
Responsibilities
* Supporting the integration of new products into production – creating work instructions, selecting tooling, jigs and fixtures, and optimising line layouts.
* Reviewing and standardising work methods to reduce variability and improve quality.
* Identifying and delivering process improvements through Lean and Six Sigma projects.
* Training and supporting production staff to maintain high quality and consistency.
* Conducting PFMEA as part of project lifecycle reviews.
* Running post-build reviews during pre-production to spot and resolve issues early.
Qualifications
* Proven experience as a Production Engineer (or similar) within an assembly or manufacturing environment.
* HND or equivalent in Mechanical, Industrial or Production Engineering.
* Hands-on experience with Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles.
* Strong 3D CAD skills (SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor preferred).
* Practical, problem-solving mindset — able to turn challenges into workable solutions.
* Confident communicator who enjoys working closely with design and production teams.
Nice to have
* Experience with castings, injection moulding, gear design or flowline manufacture.
* Green Belt Six Sigma certification.
Environment & Opportunity
You’ll be part of a forward-thinking engineering environment where quality, precision, and teamwork really matter. Every project brings something new, and your input will make a visible difference to how products are made and delivered.
