Our client is a leading manufacturer providing specialist solutions to a variety of industries such as aerospace, power generation, rail, and oil and gas. They are looking for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to join the team.
Main Duties/Responsibilities
Work with manufacturing cell leaders, lean co-ordinator, and design engineering to improve process efficiencies. Implement 'Standard work', generating & maintaining manufacturing documentation (SOP's, Routings, “Visual Factory” displays). Creation & Maintenance of Routings in the MRP system. Implement lean manufacturing methods (e.g. 1-piece flow lines, visual factory) to reduce throughput times, rework/scrap, and work in progress. Implement basic improvement tools, from 5S, 7 Wastes, Visual Management, and Standardised Work balanced assembly lines where single (best) piece flow philosophies are employed. Implement any required layout changes, ensuring both the facilities and maintenance teams are fully involved. Support the Manufacturing Cells with their recording and analysis of production data, ensuring the correct focus is placed on the main issues arising. Initiate and/or lead improvement projects and CAPEX to enable new process and product introductions. Work with Engineering on product documentation modifications and parts obsolescence. Provide day-to-day manufacturing engineering support for the production cells to enable customer schedule adherence (Fracas/concessions, change notes, or MRB (material review board)). Lead and work in teams to develop process FMEA, in their construction and implementation. Manage new product introductions and the manufacture of legacy products from release to production through the product life cycle. Mentor for cell leaders for improved methods of manufacturing assembly and test. Essential Skills/Experience/Qualifications
5+ years experience within a manufacturing/engineering environment, ideally for the aerospace industry. Previous experience of NPI. Experience of implementing Standard Work processes. Proven record of successfully implementing Lean in an industrial environment (either as a co-ordinator or as a leader). A proven track record of generating and maintaining process maps, PFMEA's, and control plans. Strong knowledge of lean manufacturing principles. Experience of using problem-solving techniques (5 Why's, Fishbone/Ishikawa diagrams, 8D). Significant technical & problem-solving experience in an electro-mechanical manufacturing environment. Good time management with a significant track record of planning/managing complex long-term projects.
