Manufacturing Engineer

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer develops and implements standard operating procedures (SOPs) and detailed work instructions to support new and existing fabrication processes. This role is highly hands‑on and focuses on optimizing manufacturing operations, integrating new fabrication equipment, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across the production environment.

• Create clear, detailed, and compliant standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions for fabrication processes and production activities.
• Work hands‑on with new and existing fabrication equipment to understand capabilities, define operating parameters, and ensure safe and efficient use.
• Develop and refine manufacturing processes to improve quality, throughput, and consistency in fabrication operations.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to support the introduction and commissioning of new fabrication equipment.
• Apply lean manufacturing principles to identify waste, streamline workflows, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
• Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives focused on process optimization and productivity gains.
• Contribute to capital expenditure (Capex) projects related to fabrication equipment, including technical input on equipment selection and process requirements.
• Ensure that all work instructions and SOPs are kept current, accurately reflect shop‑floor practices, and are easily understood by production personnel.
• Troubleshoot fabrication process issues and implement corrective actions to maintain stable and reliable operations.
• Support training of production staff on new SOPs, work instructions, and proper use of fabrication equipment.

• Minimum of 8 years of experience creating SOPs and detailed work instructions for manufacturing or fabrication environments.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience working around fabrication processes and fabrication equipment.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience with capital expenditure (Capex) activities related to manufacturing or fabrication equipment.
• Strong background in manufacturing engineering with a focus on fabrication processes and equipment.
• Proficiency in developing and documenting manufacturing processes in a clear and structured manner.
• Hands‑on approach and ability to work directly with fabrication equipment on the production floor.
• Experience applying lean manufacturing principles to improve processes and reduce waste.
• Demonstrated involvement in continuous improvement initiatives within a manufacturing setting.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with production, engineering, and other cross‑functional teams.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills for diagnosing and resolving fabrication process issues.
• Attention to detail in creating accurate and user‑friendly SOPs and work instructions.
• Strong communication skills to convey technical information clearly to a variety of stakeholders.
• Organizational skills to manage multiple projects and documentation tasks simultaneously.
