Job Description

Engineering Manager

Coventry

08:30am – 17:00pm Mon – Fri

Up to £80,000 OTE

Established over 40 years ago, MNB Precision provides manufacturing and precision engineering services to the world’s leading companies across the Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Rail and other manufacturing industries.

We are currently looking for an Engineering Manager to join the team:

Key Responsibilities

  * Lead and develop the engineering function to deliver robust, efficient, and innovative solutions for complex, high-mix/low-volume machining operations in exotic and high-strength materials.

  * Standardise engineering processes for set-up reduction, quick changeovers, and flexible manufacturing to improve responsiveness and minimise downtime.

  * Drive process improvement projects to reduce scrap, rework, and dimensional variation, ensuring consistency when machining exotic alloys to tight tolerances.

  * Embed lean and continuous improvement practices into engineering workflows, focusing on eliminating waste, improving process stability, and enhancing productivity.

  * Develop and deliver a forward-looking technology and process roadmap, incorporating advanced tooling, CAD/CAM enhancements, and digital solutions to support quality and efficiency.

  * Develop and embed inspection processes, including CMM programming and operator self-inspection, working closely with the Quality Manager to ensure first-time-right quality, reduce non-conformances, and build accountability at the source.

  * Oversee and continuously improve bench fitting and manual processes, ensuring precision, consistency, and integration with CNC operations to deliver high-quality components to customer specifications.

  * Collaborate closely with production and quality teams to ensure engineering improvements are fully embedded and sustained across the shopfloor.

  * Optimise factory layout and material flow to enhance productivity, reduce waste and handling, and ensure scalability for future equipment, technology, and workflow changes.

  * Establish and monitor engineering KPIs focused on overruns, quality, and consistency (e.g. first-off acceptance rates, process capability, cycle time variance).

  * Provide hands-on technical leadership and problem-solving support for machining issues, tooling failures, and process deviations.

  * Support the COO in capex planning and implementation of new technologies, tooling, and software, ensuring measurable returns on investment.

  * Mentor and develop the engineering team to build capability in advanced machining methods, exotic materials processing, CAD/CAM, and continuous improvement.

  * Own CAD/CAM programming, tool selection, and machining strategies, ensuring programmes are accurate, repeatable, and cost-effective.

  * Optimise CNC programming and tool paths to minimise cycle times, reduce tool wear, and ensure first-time-right quality.

  * Control and reduce engineering overruns by improving estimating accuracy, monitoring actual vs. planned cycle times, and addressing root causes of variation.

  * Champion Design for Manufacture (DFM) and New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring smooth and timely transitions from quotation through to stable production.

Requirements:

  * You will be an experienced Engineering Manager, able to confidently lead and develop the engineering team to be able to deliver robust solutions for complex machining solutions.

  * You will have a strong background within continuous improvement processes to minimise downtime.

  * Strong understanding of machining processes as well as CAD/CAM and tooling solutions, ideally within the oil 7 Gas, Aerospace or Defence industries
