£35-£40K
This is a 12 month Fixed-term contract
This role is focused within the production environment, ensuring complex electro-mechanical systems are built, tested and released to the highest quality standards.
You will be responsible for supporting manufacturing operations through hands-on fault finding, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective and preventative actions to resolve production issues and improve yield, efficiency and product quality.
A key aspect of the role is supporting engineering teams in the qualification and implementation of new manufacturing processes, including the development and maintenance of structured process documentation.
Working within the Operational Excellence team, this is a highly cross-functional role interacting with Production, Manufacturing Engineering and R&D/NPI teams to ensure products are delivered on time, to specification and to customer requirements. The role will suit someone who enjoys hands-on engineering, problem solving, understanding complex systems and driving continuous improvement in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities Provide daily hands-on engineering support to manufacturing cells to sustain and improve output, quality and efficiency
Support production lines through structured problem solving, ensuring effective root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventative actions
Participate in tiered production meetings, escalating and communicating key production issues to relevant stakeholders
Support TPM activities including equipment maintenance coordination, servicing and calibration schedules
Work closely with Production and Engineering teams to define and implement corrective actions and process improvements
Support the introduction of new products and manufacturing processes in collaboration with Manufacturing Engineering and R&D/NPI teams
Assist with implementation of production process changes and continuous improvement initiatives
Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation including work instructions, workflows and standard operating procedures
Support improvements in yield, quality and overall production performance
Ensure compliance with health, safety and quality standards at all times
Required Experience Essential Experience in a manufacturing, production, engineering or equipment maintenance environment
