Join a market-leading British marine engineering specialist producing low-volume, high-value commercial vessels and specialised aluminium marine structures. Supported by fresh leadership and a substantial order book, they combine cutting-edge CAD design with on-site assembly to deliver build-ready vessels for commercial and defence clients worldwide.
Due to continued growth, an opportunity has arisen for a Production Engineer to join the engineering team. In this role, you will act as a vital bridge between design, production, and supply chain. You will establish and maintain robust production data, work instructions, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and MRP workflows, while supporting the ongoing modernisation of our manufacturing systems.
Responsibilities, but are not limited to- Determine appropriate, cost-effective manufacturing methods for both new and existing components and assemblies
- Create, manage, and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), work instructions, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- Issue comprehensive production work packs, including engineering drawings, BOMs, job travellers, and operational documentation
- Input and maintain accurate material, routing, and labour costing data within ERP/MRP manufacturing systems
- Administer Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and ensure strict configuration control across all manufacturing records
- Review actual booked production hours and lead times against targets, proactively investigating and resolving significant variances
- Act as a technical point of contact on the shop floor, resolving day-to-day manufacturing queries and engineering issues
- Review technical drawings and specifications to assess Design for Manufacture (DfM) suitability prior to release
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across production workflows, documentation standards, and digital manufacturing tools
- Proven track record as a Production Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, or Process Engineer within a manufacturing or precision engineering environment
- Hands-on experience developing and maintaining accurate BOMs, routings, and methods of manufacture
- Strong ability to read, interpret, and interrogate mechanical, structural, and fabrication drawings
- Practical working knowledge of ERP or MRP systems for tracking work and updating production records
- Working knowledge of 3D CAD platforms (e.g. Solid Works) and Product Data Management (PDM) systems is highly desirable
- A background in marine engineering, shipbuilding, aluminium fabrication, defence, or heavy mechanical manufacturing is an advantage
