Manufacturing Engineer - Coordinator

Are you a manufacturing engineer who enjoys being the person partners turn to for answers?

Niche Recruitment is partnering with an advanced engineering business to appoint a Manufacturing Engineering Coordinator in Witney. You’ll be the technical link between its design and engineering teams and the licensees, customers and manufacturing partners building its products, helping them industrialise and scale production. This is a permanent role paying £40,000 – £50,000, in a new function that’s growing alongside the business.

In the role of Manufacturing Engineering Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for:

• Acting as the main technical contact between engineering, licensed customers and manufacturing partners
• Issuing and controlling BoMs, drawings, specifications, work instructions and technical data packs from PLM (Teamcenter)
• Managing engineering changes so partners always build to the latest approved design
• Advising partners on tooling, processes, work instructions and factory set-up, drawing on in-house build experience
• Using CAD to show partners how the product looks and goes together, and answering technical queries quickly
• Coordinating plans, actions, risks and reporting across several partner programmes at once
• Supporting quality, configuration management, traceability and continuous improvement

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• A manufacturing engineering background, working between released design and production
• Hands-on experience with BoMs, drawings, work instructions, tooling and process design
• Working knowledge of CAD and a PLM system (Teamcenter ideal, but any PLM is a good sign)
• Experience supporting production, suppliers or external partners
• The confidence to think on your feet and hold your own with partner engineers and customers
• Strong organisation and communication skills, with some project coordination exposure
• Aerospace, defence, composites or automotive experience would be a real advantage. So would NPI, licensed manufacture or factory set-up work, but none of these are essential.
