An understanding of continuous-improvement principles

The confidence to work directly with production teams

A relevant engineering qualification or strong equivalent experience

This is an opportunity to join an established specialist manufacturer with technically interesting products, long-term projects and genuine scope to influence how things are made.

The position offers a salary between £40,000 and £45,000, depending on experience.
