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.

What you’ll be doing as a Production Engineer:

- 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.

What we’re looking for in a Production Engineer:

- 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.

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.
