Senior Production Engineer - Based Poole
Basic salary £50,000 to £55,000 depending on experience, excellent benefits including matched contributory pension, healthcare etc., and further career progression.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading global engineering company who are seeking a Senior Production Engineer who can demonstrate experience of working within an engineering/manufacturing organisation.
As a Senior Production Engineer, you will have previous experience of working in a manufacturing machining role with good overall experience of continuous improvement, running projects, verifying programs, and providing program training to junior production engineers as well as maintaining and improving manufacturing processes and equipment to enable the successful manufacture and testing.
You will have an excellent understanding of quality, safety, maintenance, machining, assembly, and test and support the development of assembly and manufacturing processes applying lean and continuous improvement methodology, whilst targeting quality improvements, product cost reduction and applying Health & Safety best practice.
Candidate Requirements
Ideally qualified to HNC level or qualified by experience or actively working towards a Mechanical or Production Engineering qualification. Experience using any continuous improvement tools and techniques such as VSM, SMED, TPM, Kaizen, 5S, Error Proofing Root Cause, PFMEA etc. Able to design jigs and fixtures using CAD (preferably 3D). Conversant with design for manufacture, lean manufacture value analysis and value engineering. Demonstrate good project management skills. Proficient user of Microsoft Office Suite. Ability to organise and plan effectively, meet deadlines, and manage your own time. A good collaborator, self-motivated to deliver and be responsible for projects. Excellent communication and organisational skills with the ability to build relationships with both internal and external customers. Duties
Responsible for reviewing the cost of products, as well as the cost of poor quality by reviewing and responding to NCRs as required. Respond to change requests to prevent reoccurrence of quality issues. Design jigs and fixtures using CAD (preferably 3D) for use in production, to ensure ease of use, consistency of manufacture and error-proofing whilst following lean principles. Monitor production output through utilisation, OEE and machine uptime reports. Analyse data and trends to implement improvement actions to work towards 'world-class' productivity. Consult with the design engineering department, reviewing new products before they are released into production. Conduct PFMEAs to ensure that all designs are fit for manufacture at the most efficient cost and produce accurate and detailed production routes, specifying operation details, work centres, procedures, and time estimates for the in-house manufacture of products. Use the ERP/MRP system to add and maintain data owned by production engineering including part numbers, routes, bills of material, work centres and batch sizes. Co-ordinate project teams when appropriate to ensure the related small team of engineers efficiently delivers the project workload. Check, verify, and sign off work completed for production engineers. Maintain and apply lean principles to the operational environment and apply VAVE to production processes, ensuring manufacturing costs are minimised and cost targets are achieved by working effectively with other departments. Identify new machinery and equipment requirements by assessing the needs of the business and researching alternative options and providers. Prepare CAPEX requests and work with management & finance to submit robust proposals for approval. Lead internal projects for the procurement of new equipment
