As part of their ongoing Continuous Improvement programme, they are looking for a Process Engineer to support a six-month cycle time and efficiency study across multiple production departments.

This is a hands-on analytical role focusing on observation and recommendation, not implementation.

  • Identify inefficiencies in fabrication and assembly workflows
  • Produce clear reports and practical recommendations to support CI initiatives
  • Work closely with the CI team while reporting into the CI Lead
Requirements
  • Previous experience as a Process Engineer, Manufacturing Analyst, or similar
  • Familiarity with fabrication processes such as laser cutting, press braking, and welding
  • Understanding of lean manufacturing principles and cycle time analysis
  • Excellent observational and analytical skills
  • Confident communicator with strong written reporting ability
Benefits
  • 25 days holiday per annum (pro-rata)
  • Employer pension contribution (4%)
  • Life assurance
  • Sports and social club membership
