Full job description

Manufacturing Engineer – Forging & Machining

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on, driven Manufacturing Engineer to take ownership of manufacturing performance across our forging, machining, and secondary operations.
This is not a desk-based role. You will be expected to be on the shop floor, resolving issues in real time, driving standards, and ensuring processes are robust, repeatable, and production-ready.
You will play a key role in supporting and improving operations across:
- Press Shop (1300T / 1600T / 4000T press suite)
- Induction heating systems
- CNC machining & secondary operations
Your focus: improve output, reduce downtime, eliminate waste, and stabilise production.

Key Responsibilities

Process Ownership & Improvement

Take full ownership of manufacturing processes — if it runs poorly, you fix it
Improve cycle times, throughput, and yield
Standardise processes to remove variation and operator dependency

Shop Floor Problem Solving

Be present on the shop floor during issues — not managing via email
Lead structured root cause analysis (8D, 5 Why, fault finding)
Resolve chronic issues including:
- Press stoppages
- Induction instability
- Tooling failures
- Scrap trends

Continuous Improvement

Deliver real, measurable improvements:
- OEE improvement
- Downtime reduction
- Scrap reduction
Implement Lean tools properly (5S, Standard Work, Visual Management)
Challenge poor practices — “we’ve always done it this way” isn’t acceptable

Process Control & Documentation

Create and maintain:
- SOPs
- Work instructions
- Process flows
Ensure documentation reflects actual working practice
Implement controls to prevent repeat failures

NPI & Process Validation

Lead new product introduction from concept to production
Define processes, tooling, and trials
Deliver right-first-time launches
Support validation through capability studies and sign-offs

Data-Driven Performance

Monitor and act on:
- OEE
- Scrap
- Downtime
Use data to drive action, not just reporting
Deliver measurable improvements

Tooling & Equipment Support

Support die design and improvements
Drive tool life optimisation
Work with Toolroom to eliminate repeat failures and poor quality

Cross-Functional Working

Work closely with Production, Maintenance, and Quality
Take ownership — no silos, no finger-pointing

Compliance & Safety

Ensure compliance with:
- HSE
- PUWER
- UKCA requirements
Challenge unsafe practices immediately

Skills & Experience

HNC/HND or Degree in Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineering
Experience in forging, heavy engineering, or automotive manufacturing
Strong background in process improvement within production environments
Strong Experience with CAD (Fusion 360 or similar)
Good understanding of:
- Engineering drawings & tolerances
- PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC
- Structured problem solving (8D, 5 Why)

What We’re Looking For (Fit)

Can-do attitude — no passengers
Self-driven and able to work on own initiative
Comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
Willing to challenge poor standards
Strong shop floor presence — visible and accountable
Focused on solutions, not excuses

Key KPIs

Reduction in scrap and rework
OEE improvement across key processes
Reduction in downtime (press & machining)
Successful NPI delivery
Demonstrated cost savings
Reduction in repeat issues / firefighting

Additional Expectations

Be on-site and engaged from the start of shift
Support production start-up where required
Deliver improvements that are visible within weeks, not months
Maintain high standards of documentation and accountability
