Are you ready to lead a brand-new function and help a business perform more effectively and efficiently?

We are looking for a skilled Manufacturing Applications Project Engineer to join our client's team. This is a brand-new role within the business, which makes it a great opportunity to make the role your own.

The thing to bear in mind with any new role is that there is likely to be limited support with any job-specific skills gaps so you will need to be quietly confident in your own capabilities as a capable and forward-thinking project engineer.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Support: Provide engineering and application support during manufacturing
• New Product Introduction: Assist in launching new products

• Decision Making: Make decisions regarding re-work and scrap in collaboration with senior managers.
• Customer Complaints: Address non-conformance reports related to customer complaints and quality control issues
• Quality equipment programming to maximise coverage and usage of inspection equipment

What We’re Looking For:

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in CMM/Quality Equipment Programming (Keyence, Mitutoyo MCOSMOS, Faro preferred) and CAD skills (AutoDesk Fusion preferred).
• Knowledge of HighQA Quality software an advantage but not essential
• Experience with 4 and 5 axis CNC machines
• Experience: Previous experience in an engineering/manufacturing role, project delivery, and quality management.
• Education: Engineering qualification or relevant engineering/manufacturing experience
• Well-versed in modern engineering and manufacturing principles and digital technologies
• Ability to successfully deliver change by leadership, best practice and leading by example
• Attributes: Responsible, organised, and detail-oriented with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a genuine desire to keep learning and getting ahead of the curve

What you get in return:

• Circa GBP50k dependant on experience
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
• Days, Monday to Friday
• Pension
• Training
• DIS Scheme
• Career development

Immediate start available although we will wait for the right person too.

If you are passionate about modern engineering and want to be able to make a role your own and are ready to make a significant impact, we want to hear from you.
