Job description - the role
We’re looking for a well-rounded Manufacturing Engineer to support a high-precision machine shop environment.
This role is less about ownership of a specific specialism and more about filling capability gaps across the team, with a strong emphasis on shop floor support, process improvement, and manufacturing methods.
What you’ll do:
- Provide hands-on support to the shop floor, troubleshooting and improving manufacturing processes
- Drive continuous improvement (CI) initiatives across machining operations
- Develop and refine manufacturing methods and process documentation
- Support production in a high-precision machining environment (turbines, discs, fan blades)
- Apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor and improve process performance
- Collaborate with operators, quality, and engineering teams to optimise workflow and output
The skills you’ll need:
- Solid background as a Manufacturing Engineer in a machining / machine shop environment
- Strong understanding of CNC machining processes (multi-axis highly desirable)
- NC Programming knowledge (hands-on or closely aligned)
- Experience supporting complex components (e.g., aerospace-grade parts such as turbines, discs, fan blades)
- Proven track record in process improvements / CI initiatives
- Comfortable working in a shop floor–facing role (not purely theoretical/office-based)
Next steps: We will only accept workers operating via an Umbrella or PAYE engagement model.
