This is a hands-on manufacturing role for someone who wants to be on the shopfloor, not behind a desk. As Manufacturing Engineer, youll be right at the heart of machining activity, taking components from CNC programming through prove-out and FAI approval, solving real production problems and continuously improving how parts are made. If youre most comfortable around CNC machines, tooling, fixtures and process optimisation, this role will feel like home.
Whats in it for you
Youll be trusted to own manufacturing processes end to end, with the space to improve, refine and influence how high-precision components are produced. This is a technically focused role where your machining knowledge directly impacts quality, efficiency and output, rather than a step into people management or admin-heavy work.

Salary up to £50,000 depending on experience
A genuinely hands-on shopfloor engineering role
Exposure to complex, high-precision machining environments
Opportunity to improve and shape production processes and cells
Stable, long-term position within regulated manufacturing
What youll be getting stuck into as a Manufacturing Engineer
Programming, setting and proving out CNC milling and turning processes through to FAI approval
Troubleshooting machining issues and driving root-cause fixes on the shopfloor
Improving process capability, control and consistency across production
Supporting continuous improvement activity, including lean-based projects
Assisting with the setup and optimisation of production cells and machine shop layouts
Ensuring documentation, inspections and process controls meet quality requirements
What youll bring to the table as a Manufacturing Engineer
Hands-on CNC programming and prove-out experience in a machining environment
Strong understanding of CNC milling and/or turning processes
Proven ability to problem-solve machining and process-related issues
Familiarity with lean manufacturing tools and continuous improvement principles
Experience supporting or setting up machine shops or production cells
If youre a Manufacturing Engineer who wants to stay close to the machines, solve real production problems and continuously improve how parts are made, this is well worth a conversation.
