Our client, a volume manufacturing business in Wakefield, seeks to appoint a Manufacturing Engineer to improve manufacturing techniques in order to reduce production time per item, remove waste, and increase quality and repeatability. Working alongside multiple departments, you will be a good communicator able to quickly integrate.
Reporting to the Manufacturing Manager, you will also produce tooling aids for ease of manufacture with your competent CAD skills and be the point of contact within the lean function to answer queries on manufacturing engineering for the quality, production, maintenance, and design departments. The ideal Manufacturing Engineer will come from a fast-moving high-volume manufacturing background and have experience of traditional engineering processes: machining, fabrication, welding, precision metal work.
Manufacturing Engineer - Role & Responsibilities
Address root causes of process and yield issues. Work with the quality department and understand 4D/8D/Root Cause Analysis. Implement CAPA. Work with the test department to maintain test equipment.
