Manufacturing Engineer - FTC

Location: Allensmore

Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer
Location: Hereford
Salary: £60,000 to £75,000

Employment Type

: Fixed-term contract
Working Arrangements: Onsite working

Are you a hands on Manufacturing Engineer with strong electromechanical experience and a background in low medium volume, high value product build environments?

Verso are offering a short, fixed term contract where you ll support the transition of complex prototypes into stable, repeatable production - working directly with design, production, and test teams on a major engineering programme entering its final development phase.

This role is fully on site in Hereford and ideal for someone available now, confident in their abilities, and comfortable getting stuck into both mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.

The Role
This is a practical, shop floor focused Manufacturing Engineer position supporting the build, inspection, and early industrialisation of electromechanical products. You ll work closely with production and design engineering to inspect initial parts, run prototype testing, and help shape how assemblies are built and validated.

You ll bring structure, clarity, and hands on support to a fast moving environment where prototypes are still evolving - ensuring issues are captured early and fed back into design.



Key Responsibilities :
- Support the transition of electromechanical prototypes into stable, repeatable production.
- Inspect incoming parts and build early inspection criteria and documentation.
- Run in house testing and provide clear feedback to design engineering.
- Work with mechanical and production engineers on assembly flow, jigs, and tooling improvements.
- Create practical test documentation, build instructions, and goods in inspection processes.
- Provide hands on support across production and engineering no consultancy mindset, just teamwork and delivery.
- Help mature evolving designs into manufacturable, structured assemblies.

What We re Looking For
- Mechanical or electromechanical manufacturing background.
- Ability to read and interpret CAD/mechanical drawings.
- Experience in low medium volume, high value product manufacturing.
- Comfortable with hands on inspection, assembly support, and prototype testing.
- Strong communication skills - written and verbal.
- Practical, adaptable, and confident working within an established engineering team.



Desirable Experience
- Electromechanical prototypes (PCBs, RF cabling, multi part assemblies).
- CAD proficiency for inspection type drawings.
- Experience in fast paced development or maturing product environments.
