Precision Engineering. Real Impact. Continuous Improvement.
We’re looking for a talented Aerospace Production Engineer to join a high-reliability manufacturing team at the forefront of precision engineering.
This is a pivotal role bridging design and production, ensuring aerospace components and assemblies are delivered efficiently, safely, and to the highest possible quality standards.
If you’re passionate about process optimisation, problem-solving, and continuous improvement, this is your opportunity to work in a cutting-edge environment where your ideas and expertise will directly shape performance and innovation.
The Role
As a Production Engineer, you’ll play a key role in supporting and improving manufacturing operations. From optimising processes to supporting New Product Introduction (NPI), you’ll help drive efficiency, quality, and cost performance across the shop floor.
You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless production delivery in a safety-critical, quality-driven aerospace environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing processes for aerospace components and assemblies
- Provide hands-on technical support to production teams to improve yield, resolve issues, and maintain performance
- Create and maintain detailed work instructions, routings, and process documentation
- Collaborate with design teams to ensure Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFM/DFA) principles are applied
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI), including tooling, fixtures, and process validation
- Lead root cause analysis and implement effective corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
- Analyse production data to improve cycle times, quality, and cost efficiency
- Ensure full compliance with aerospace standards and regulatory requirements (e.g. AS9100, FAA, EASA)
- Work cross-functionally with Quality, Engineering, Planning, and Maintenance teams
Skills & ExperienceEssential
- Experience in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing environments
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes such as stainless steel forming, spot welding, riveting, or similar
- Familiarity with aerospace quality systems and documentation standards
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T
- Proficient in core engineering tools: PFD, PFMEA, Control Plans, PPAP/FAIR, APQP
- Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills
- Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent experience)
Desirable
- Experience working with AS9100 or equivalent quality systems
- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies
- CAD and manufacturing planning tool experience
- Hands-on experience with tooling, fixtures, or process validation
- Membership of a relevant professional body (e.g. IEMA) or working towards chartership
Working Hours
- 37.5 hours per week (flexible)
- Monday–Thursday: 8 hours per day
- Friday: 5.5 hours
- 30-minute lunch
