Manage manufacturing admin, including order processing, part inspection, despatch, and certification
*
Oversee site safety systems, maintenance, and overall site management
*
Motivate and manage personnel, fostering a positive and high-performance team culture
What We’re Looking For
*
Strong background in CNC machining and CAD-based design
*
Demonstrable experience implementing and monitoring engineering KPIs
*
Proven track record in manufacturing and capacity planning
*
Understanding of ISO or equivalent quality systems
*
Excellent interpersonal and leadership skills – able to inspire and influence teams
