Your Role

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring RNLI has the manufacturing capability, processes and standards required to safely and consistently build lifesaving assets across all production sites.

You will lead the development, validation and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, ensuring they are robust, repeatable and aligned to design intent. A significant part of your role will involve leading manufacturing engineering activity for Production transfer, New Product Introduction (NPI) and major design changes, ensuring production readiness and successful transition into build.

You will act as a senior technical authority for manufacturing methods, working closely with Engineering, Production and Quality teams to ensure manufacturability, efficiency and compliance.

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will:

Lead the development and optimisation of manufacturing processes across RNLI production facilities
Own manufacturing readiness for NPI, including process design, validation and production sign-off
Develop and maintain standardised manufacturing methods, process documentation, and Bills of Process
Design and specify tooling, fixtures and equipment to support safe and efficient build
Lead complex problem-solving activities related to manufacturing and process performance
Drive cross-site Continuous Improvement initiatives to improve flow, quality and productivity
Assess manufacturing capability, capacity and process performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and investment
Ensure effective implementation of engineering changes from a manufacturing perspective
Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineers and production teams
Support the development of manufacturing standards, best practice and future capability across the RNLI

About you

You’ll be a technically strong and collaborative engineer who enjoys developing and improving manufacturing processes, coaching others and leading cross-site initiatives. To be considered as Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will need:

Significant experience in a manufacturing or process engineering role, ideally involving composite structures, marine products or low-volume technical manufacturing.
Strong experience developing manufacturing processes, tooling, verification activities and process documentation.
Demonstrated ability to lead manufacturing engineering tasks and cross-functional projects.
Proven competence in Lean/CI tools, including Standardised Work, 6S, flow mapping, and structured problem solving.
Experience leading NPI and manufacturing process validation activities.
Knowledge of digital manufacturing tools, CAD/CAM, ERP systems and manufacturing data models.
Experience in leading or mentoring engineering teams.

You will have excellent communication skills, a proactive mindset, and the confidence to act as a subject matter expert for manufacturing engineering within a multi-disciplinary environment.

Join us in shaping the future of lifeboat manufacturing and help save lives at sea.
