Full job description

The Production & Quality Engineer serves as the vital link between engineering design, quality control, and factory-floor execution. You will oversee manufacturing workflows for sheet metal processing (laser cutting, CNC punching, press brake bending, welding, and assembly), maintain rigorous Quality Assurance (QA/QC) frameworks, drive root-cause problem solving, and lead continuous improvement (Lean/5S) initiatives to maximize first-pass yield and throughput.

Key Responsibilities

Production & Manufacturing Engineering

Design, refine, and optimize sheet metal manufacturing routings, cell layouts, and production workflows to minimize lead times and eliminate bottlenecks.
Create, standardize, and maintain Detailed Work Instructions, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and production BOMs.
Provide direct technical support to shop-floor technicians on tooling setup, press brake bend deductions, laser/punch parameters, and assembly tolerances.
Coordinate New Product Introduction (NPI) handoffs from CAD design to prototype build and full volume production run.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Establish, inspect, and maintain internal QA/QC control plans, incoming material inspections, in-process dimensional audits, and final quality sign-offs.
Conduct root-cause analysis (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) for non-conformances (NCRs), field failures, or customer returns (RMA), implementing effective CAPA protocols.
Enforce adherence to GD&T specifications, weld quality standards, and critical-to-quality (CTQ) dimensional callouts.
Maintain ISO 9001 quality management system compliance and assist with internal/external quality audits.

Continuous Improvement & Maintenance

Spearhead Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and Kaizen initiatives across cutting, forming, welding, and powder-coating operations.
Partner with maintenance leadership to establish Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedules for critical machinery (CNC lasers, press brakes, punch presses).

Qualifications & Requirements

Required:

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline / proven trade experience.
Experience: 3+ years in a production, manufacturing, or quality engineering role within precision sheet metal fabrication or heavy metal manufacturing.
Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of sheet metal fabrication processes (laser cutting, turret punching, CNC bending, TIG/MIG welding, hardware insertion, and surface finishing).
Quality Systems: Practical expertise with ISO 9001 frameworks, structured CAPA processes, and precision measuring tools (CMM, calipers, height gauges, optical comparators).
Software & CAD: Proficiency reading technical blueprints and GD&T symbols. Experience using 3D CAD software (SolidWorks/AutoCAD) and factory ERP/MRP execution systems.

Pay: £30,000.00-£36,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Casual dress
Company pension
Free parking
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
