You will plan effectively to ensure projects are delivered on time, to standard and in – budget, and will rigorously evaluate manufacturing processes, researching and developing solutions in order to increase efficiency, reduce down time, waste and scrap, whilst ensuring consistent repeatable processes and product quality are maintained.

Working with the coordinators and operatives in order to implement new machines and procedures, you will be responsible for providing manufacturing support and information for all processes, undertaking CAD drawing creation, review and storage as well as Press tooling and fixture design, generating and maintaining product and process data and training and contacting and maintaining relationships with vendors for equipment and solutions, as well as performing New Product Development, testing and research as necessary.
