The Opportunity

We are seeking two experienced Manufacturing Engineers to join a busy manufacturing engineering team in Peterborough. You'll support assembly operations, drive process improvements and deliver manufacturing projects to improve safety, quality, productivity and cost.

This is a varied, hands-on role offering exposure to ongoing Manufacturing Process Improvement (MPI) projects, capital investment and wider manufacturing engineering activities.

• Support MPI, capital investment and manufacturing engineering projects.

• Work with production, engineering, quality teams and suppliers.

• Improve equipment, tooling, processes and manufacturing efficiency.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Strong manufacturing engineering experience in a production or industrial environment.

• Proven PFMEA expertise, including independently leading meetings.

• Demonstrable process improvement and problem-solving experience.

• A proactive, self-reliant approach with strong ownership of issues.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Desirable: MPI or CapEx project experience, CAD tools (AutoCAD, Fusion 360 or Creo), Siemens Teamcenter, VisMockup and NPI experience.

Working Arrangements

The role is fully on-site in Peterborough, Monday to Friday. Flexible start and finish times are available, with occasional flexibility required to support production activities. This is not a hybrid role.

The initial contract is 12 months, with potential for extension depending on business needs.
