The Opportunity – Manufacturing Engineer

About the role:

As a Manufacturing Engineer at JCB World Headquarters, you’ll play a key role in designing, developing and continuously improving manufacturing processes that support the production of world-class machinery. Working at the heart of our manufacturing operations, you’ll be responsible for driving efficiency, quality, safety and cost improvements across production processes while supporting the introduction of new products and technologies.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineering professional who enjoys problem-solving, innovation and working collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver operational excellence. You'll have the chance to influence how products are manufactured, ensuring our facilities remain at the forefront of engineering and manufacturing best practice.

What does this role involve day to day?

Design, develop and optimise manufacturing processes to improve productivity, quality, safety and cost performance.

Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities by defining manufacturing processes, tooling requirements, equipment specifications and work instructions.

Identify and deliver continuous improvement initiatives using Lean Manufacturing principles and structured problem-solving techniques.

Investigate production issues, conduct root cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Develop, maintain and improve manufacturing documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), routings and process specifications.

Specify, validate and support the commissioning of production equipment, tooling, jigs and fixtures.

Collaborate closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Operations and Supply Chain teams to ensure products are manufacturable and meet business requirements.

Monitor and analyse production data to identify opportunities for cycle time reduction, yield improvement and scrap reduction.

Ensure manufacturing processes comply with quality standards, health and safety regulations and industry requirements.

Support cost reduction projects through waste elimination, process optimisation and supplier engagement.

Assist with capacity planning, line balancing and manufacturing layout improvements.

Support internal and external audits, corrective action activities and continuous compliance initiatives.

Provide technical guidance and training to production teams on new or revised manufacturing processes.

This will be suited to you if…

You hold a degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.

You have experience working within a manufacturing or production environment and can demonstrate hands-on involvement in process improvement initiatives.

You have a solid understanding of manufacturing processes, production systems, materials and quality control methodologies.

You are knowledgeable in Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement and structured problem-solving techniques.

You can confidently interpret engineering drawings and specifications.

You have experience using CAD/CAM software and ERP/MRP systems.

You are familiar with quality standards and methodologies such as Six Sigma, ISO standards and other industry best practices.

You possess strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills.

You are an effective communicator who can build positive working relationships across engineering, operations, quality and supply chain functions.

You are organised, proactive and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

You are passionate about delivering improvements in safety, quality, efficiency and cost performance.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the manufacture of some of the world's most recognised construction and agricultural equipment, while developing your engineering expertise within a global manufacturing business.

What happens next?

Ordinarily, our Resourcing Team reviews and shortlists CVs. If shortlisted, you’ll speak to one of our Recruiters to discuss the role further. Our interview process usually consists of an initial team’s interview followed by an in-person interview. We’ll keep in touch throughout the process but if you have any questions, please get in touch at [email protected]

What's in it for you?

This is your chance to join a company that values expertise not only in rewards but also in real employee care. At JCB you don’t just get a competitive salary, 33 days’ holiday and access to our company pension—you can also use our onsite gym, in-house doctor, dentist and visiting optician. We have an ULEV car scheme available for our employees too. Then there’s the JCB Rewards Hub, which gives you discounts with high street retailers. Feel like biking to work? There’s our Cycle to Work Scheme.

We value diversity and welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds.

We’re committed to ensuring our recruitment process is fair and inclusive. If you face any accessibility challenges with your online application and require additional support, you have the option of speaking to a member of our Recruitment Team who can support you to complete an application in an alternative format. If you would benefit from this support, please email [email protected], and a member of the team will be in touch.
