Flexible Working

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.

This role provides manufacturing leadership across South Wales, delivering hands-on support to help companies boost productivity and competitiveness. You will enable businesses to adopt advanced digital technologies, innovate, and differentiate their products, processes and capabilities.

Working as part of WMG and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVMC), you’ll play a role in supporting economic growth, skills development and industrial innovation through applied research and technology adoption. You’ll benefit from the expertise of a UK-wide network of manufacturing specialists, while being part of a supportive, close-knit team based in Baglan, Neath Port Talbot.

You will lead and deliver projects that tackle real-world industry challenges, creating practical and scalable solutions with clear commercial impact. A key focus will be helping Welsh manufacturers improve their productivity, implement automation and robotics, and embed advanced digital manufacturing techniques.

Collaborating closely with HVM Catapult centre specialist engineers, industry partners, Welsh organisations and academic institutions, you will play a central role in transforming manufacturing performance across South Wales.

You’ll be joining a diverse and purpose-driven team based in Baglan and given the tools and support needed to make a tangible difference to the future of Welsh industry.

Organised and proactive, you can manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining a focus on delivering tangible outcomes. Above all, you are motivated by making a difference, applying your expertise to help businesses in Wales grow, innovate, and succeed.
