Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Engineer

Based in Bedfordshire

Salary up to £43,500 + Bonus | Overtime | Pension

You've fixed problems on the line that nobody else could work out. You've taken a half-finished design and turned it into something that actually runs on the shop floor. So why are you still doing that for someone who barely notices?

This is a manufacturing engineering role inside one of the UK's most important defence production environments, working on lines that build genuinely critical kit. You'll take design intent and turn it into manufacturing reality, covering build instructions, tooling, FMEAs, and non-conformance resolution, working directly with a Principal Engineer rather than in isolation.

There's also a clear growth path here, into industrial validation and factory of the future work as the site expands.

• Circa £43,500, plus up to £2,500 bonus
