Production Engineer

We are currently recruiting for a Production Engineer to join a busy manufacturing operation in Ayrshire.

This is a hands‑on engineering role covering the full manufacturing process from reviewing drawings and developing machining strategies, through CAM programming and problem‑solving to proving processes and supporting production.

• Review engineering drawings and manufacturing requirements.
• Develop effective machining strategies, tooling and work holding solutions.
• Create, optimise and modify CNC programmes using CAM.
• Identify and resolve potential manufacturing issues before production.

• Set and operate CNC machinery when required.
• Prove, refine and optimise CNC programmes.
• Support first-off inspections and production runs.
• Manufacture components accurately to drawing and required quality standards.
• Work closely with production and engineering colleagues to continually improve processes.

We are looking for someone with practical CNC manufacturing experience who enjoys combining engineering knowledge with hands‑on machining.

You’ll ideally have experience in:

• A relevant engineering qualification or apprenticeship would be advantageous, but strong practical CNC programming and machining experience will be considered equally.
• CNC programming and/or CAM
• Interpreting engineering drawings
• Tooling, work holding and machining processes
• Problem‑solving within a manufacturing environment

Most importantly, you’ll have a practical, methodical approach and enjoy figuring out the most effective way to manufacture a component.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work across the complete manufacturing process from drawing and planning, through programming and proving to producing the finished component.

If you enjoy working out how something should be made and then making it, we’d like to hear from you
