Manufacturing Process Engineer

I’m working on a retained search for a consulting business hiring 4 Manufacturing Consultants
.

These roles suit high-calibre process, manufacturing, and industrial engineering professionals who have built strong foundations in steady-state, commercial manufacturing environments and want to step into a faster-paced consulting career.

You will drive improvement work across client manufacturing operations, solving complex process and performance challenges tied to yield, throughput, capacity, waste, scrap, cycle time, and operating efficiency
.

They are particularly interested in engineers who have delivered measurable improvement in mature, stable manufacturing settings
, where performance gains are typically harder won and where strong process discipline, analytical capability, and operational judgement really matter.

What they are looking for:

• Around 2+ years’ experience in process improvement, manufacturing engineering, operations improvement, or similar
• Background in process-heavy, steady-state manufacturing environments
• Degree in Chemical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering
• Strong grounding in core engineering, maths, physics, and science principles
• Ability to lead projects, solve problems quickly, and build credibility on client sites
• Willingness to travel 4 days per week - This is a non negotiable - 4 days on clients site

Why these roles stand out:

• Genuine career accelerator over the next 2 to 3 years
• Early responsibility and exposure to senior client stakeholders
• Opportunity to build technical and commercial credibility quickly
• Broad project exposure across multiple manufacturing environments
• Clear route toward faster progression for the right people

This will suit engineers who want more scope, more pace, and more variety than a single-site role can offer. The travel is significant and expectations are high, but for the right person it is a strong platform to accelerate their career.
