Are you a hands-on engineer ready to take on a pivotal role in transforming manufacturing operations?
We’re looking for an ManufacturingEngineer to lead the planning and installation of robotic welding cells - a major capital investment project aimed at enhancing quality, repeatability, and efficiency across our fabrication lines.
This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in driving automation and continuous improvement within high-impact programmes.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the Robotic Welding Cell Project - Manage all stages of the project, from planning and procurement through to installation, commissioning, and full integration into the manufacturing workflow.
Develop Manufacturing Solutions - Resolve build and quality issues with practical, shop-floor-tested solutions across fabrication and assembly environments.
Implement Automation - Explore and deliver automation strategies that drive improvements in welding consistency, safety, and throughput.
Process Optimisation - Improve dimensional stability through effective jig and fixture design, and data-driven manufacturing process enhancements.
Reduce Build Hours and Waste - Apply lean principles to reduce cycle time, tact time, and improve first-time pass rates.
Support Capital Investment Initiatives - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver successful outcomes on strategic investment projects.
Design for Manufacturability - Provide early input into product design to ensure ease of manufacture and assembly.
Standardise and Document - Develop and maintain standard operating procedures and technical documentation.
What We’re Looking For
* Degree or HND in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent).
* Demonstrated success delivering large-scale automation or capital projects.
* Experience & knowledge of robotic systems.
* Deep understanding of welding processes.
* Skilled in interpreting welding drawings and GD&T.
* Strong data analysis capabilities related to cycle time, RFT, and tact metrics.
* Excellent communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
* Practical understanding of lean manufacturing and health & safety standards.
* Knowledge of the latest developments in robotic welding and fabrication.
Why Join Us?
You’ll be part of a forward-thinking team at the forefront of automation and modern manufacturing, working on projects that directly impact the delivery of advanced engineering solutions. We offer a dynamic environment, opportunities for professional growth, and a chance to lead in the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
