Job Description

Manufacturing Engineer - Automotive Manufacturing
 Midlands  
 £50,000 - £55,000 + excellent benefits
  
 Most plant engineer jobs are just firefighting breakdowns and updating drawings. This one is different.
  
 You'll be right in the thick of it - shaping how injection moulding, painting, bonding and assembly work across a high-volume automotive plant. You'll launch new equipment, optimise existing processes and make sure they're ready for whatever the next big launch throws.
  
 One minute you're running trials with a new robot cell, the next you're leading the commissioning of an injection moulding line that's never been installed before. You'll have real ownership, real budget and real impact on quality, productivity and safety.
  
 What you'll actually do: 
  
Lead equipment installations, trials and commissioning for new projects (from supplier kick-off to final acceptance) 
Own FMEAs, risk assessments, safety plans and workstation instructions 
Validate and update process standards using company methodology 
Troubleshoot and fix process failures with root-cause tools (8D etc.) 
Propose and test technical improvements that deliver real gains in productivity, quality and uptime 
Manage engineering changes and work on internal infrastructure to align with new upcoming product launches 
Work within a small team with your office based on the shopfloor 
Work closely with production, maintenance, injection/paint leaders and project teams   You'll fit if you: 
  
Have a relevant engineering qualification (Degree/HNC/HND minimum) 
Understand injection moulding, painting, assembly or bonding processes (hands-on experience is gold, as is Automotive experience) 
Are comfortable with FMEAs, control plans, 8D problem-solving and project management 
Can communicate clearly with everyone and be comfortable leading meetings 
Know your way around MS Office, MS Project and AutoCAD 
Are results driven and keen to complete tasks from inception to delivery 
Thrive in a fast-moving environment and enjoy turning ideas into working reality   About the Organisation:
  
 A large, high volume automotive manufacturing operation that forms part of a global tier one group. The site operates in a fast paced, quality critical environment where equipment uptime, supplier performance and cost control directly impact production and customer delivery.
  
 This role offers the chance to work within a globally connected manufacturing business while having real ownership and visibility at site level. You will gain exposure to best practice processes, complex operations and a role that genuinely impacts performance.
  
 The package: 
  
Up to £50,000 - £55,000 p.a. depending on your experience and skills 
Significant employer pension contribution 
Electric car scheme via salary sacrifice 
Cycle-to-work scheme 
Heavily discounted gym membership 
Holiday buy/sell option 
Flexible start/finish times 
1 day a week work-from-home 
Genuine career progression - promotion from within and there's clear headroom   If you're the kind of engineer who gets a kick out of launching new kit, fixing process headaches and seeing your changes on the shop floor every day, please reach out to discuss further
