Core Responsibilities
  * Estimation & Method: Produce optimum manufacturing methods and cost estimates from 2D drawings or digital data.
  * Project Management: Generate project plans for new business and take full ownership of contracts to completion.
  * Commercial Negotiation: Source raw materials, negotiate with suppliers, and manage outwork processes.
  * Technical Support: Provide guidance on methods, tooling, and process improvements to ensure “right first time” delivery.
  * Profitability Review: Monitor contract performance and work with production/supply chain to drive cost reductions and process improvements
What You Bring
  * Technical Foundation: Apprentice Trained Engineer (or equivalent) with a strong mechanical engineering background.
  * Blueprint Fluency: Exceptional ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and data.
  * Commercial Acumen: Experience in a sub-contract machining environment is highly advantageous.
  * IT Literacy: Strong computer skills are essential for creating concise quotes and managing project documentation.
Why Apply?
You’ll be joining a structured, professional, and highly skilled team where management is accessible and continuous improvement is part of the culture.
Working Hours:
  * Monday–Thursday: 08:00–16:30
  * Friday: 08:00–15:30
Benefits:
  * 4% matched pension scheme after probation
  * Discretionary bonus scheme
Holidays:
  * 23 days p/a + bank holidays
This is a full-time permanent position based onsite in South Oxfordshire. All candidates should be available to work Monday – Friday on-site as remote working is not available.
