Senior Production Engineer

SENIOR PRODUCTION ENGINEER

Reading Permanent

From clever prototype to serious production — this is where you come in. Our clients products are highly technical, their ambitions are even bigger. They now need a Senior Production Engineer who can take what works in a development environment and turn it into a robust, repeatable and scalable production operation.

And this is where it gets interesting...

You won't be walking into a finished manufacturing process and simply keeping it running. You'll be shaping it. From the equipment and automation through to test, calibration, assembly methods and production readiness, you'll have a major influence on how the product moves from engineering concept to something that can be produced consistently and at increasing volume.

• Complex electrical & electronic hardware
• Robotics, automation & integration
• Test, measurement & calibration
• Manufacturing process development
• NPI & production scale-up
• Technical team leadership
• Root cause, reliability & continuous improvement

You’ll be the person people turn to when something isn't working properly — whether that’s a technical fault, unreliable test result, inefficient process or recurring production issue.

And you'll have the autonomy to find the root cause, engineer the solution and make the improvement stick.

A technically strong engineer who can operate comfortably at both ends of the spectrum. Someone who can dive into schematics, PCBs, instrumentation, firmware and robotics one minute…and then step back and think about process capability, people, production flow and scalability the next. You'll ideally have a degree or equivalent engineering background and a proven track record within complex product manufacturing, NPI or production engineering.

• Salary: £55'000 TO £60'000 and
  25 Days Annual Leave
• Private Healthcare
• Hybrid Working Options
• Smart Reward Discounts
• Personal Development Framework Schemes
• Coaching and Mentoring Schemes
• Private Pension
• Company Sick Pay Policy

If you want a role where you simply inherit a process and keep it ticking over, this probably isn't it.

If you want to design, improve and scale the way complex products are manufactured, this is a very different proposition.
