Kick-start your engineering career with hands-on projects, technical challenges and opportunities to make a real impact.

Are you a recent Engineering graduate looking to turn your technical knowledge into practical experience? This is an exciting opportunity to join an established manufacturing environment where you can develop your skills in production engineering, mechanical systems, tooling and continuous improvement.

Working alongside experienced engineers and production teams, you’ll play a key role in supporting manufacturing operations, solving technical problems and helping improve how products are assembled and tested. You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to projects across international sites, giving you valuable exposure to wider engineering operations.

• Support production operations – provide hands‑on engineering support across manufacturing areas, helping ensure products are built and tested to the required standards.
• Solve engineering challenges – investigate production and testing issues, troubleshoot equipment faults and recommend effective solutions.
• Drive continuous improvement – identify opportunities to improve manufacturing processes, efficiency and product quality using Lean principles.
• Support new product introductions – assist with the introduction of new products and provide technical support for existing products.
• Develop tooling and test equipment – support the maintenance and development of assembly jigs, fixtures, tooling and specialised test equipment.
• Create technical documentation – maintain work instructions, assembly procedures and test documentation to support consistent manufacturing standards.
• Collaborate across teams – work closely with Production, Engineering and technical colleagues, with opportunities to support projects across international sites.

• A recognised qualification/degree in Engineering
  .
• An interest in mechanical engineering, manufacturing processes, assembly and testing.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• A practical, problem-solving mindset with good attention to detail.
• An interest in continuous improvement and making manufacturing processes more efficient.
• Good communication skills and the confidence to work with colleagues across different levels of the business.

This is a great opportunity for an ambitious graduate to build a broad foundation in production engineering, combining practical, hands‑on engineering with problem-solving, process improvement and project work.
