We are looking for a skilled Manufacturing Applications Project Engineer to join our client’s team. This is a brand-new role within the business, which makes it a great opportunity to make the role your own. The thing to bear in mind is that with any new role, there is likely to be limited support with any job-specific skills gaps so you will need to be quietly confident in your own capabilities as a capable and forward-thinking project engineer.

- Decision Making: Make decisions regarding re-work and scrap in collaboration with senior managers.
- Customer Complaints: Address non-conformance reports related to customer complaints and quality control issues
- Quality equipment programming to maximise coverage and usage of inspection equipment
What We’re Looking For:
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in CMM/Quality Equipment Programming (Keyence, Mitutoyo MCOSMOS, Faro preferred) and CAD skills (AutoDesk Fusion preferred).
- Knowledge of HighQA Quality software
- Experience: Previous experience in an engineering/manufacturing role, project delivery, and quality management.
- Education: Engineering qualification or relevant engineering/manufacturing experience
- Well-versed in modern engineering and manufacturing principles and digital technologies
- Ability to successfully deliver change by leadership, best practice and leading by example
- Attributes: Responsible, organised, and detail-oriented with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a genuine desire to keep learning and getting ahead of the curve
What you get in return:
- Circa £50k dependant on experience
- 25 days holiday bank holidays (increasing with service)
- Days, Monday to Friday
- Pension
- Training
- DIS Scheme
- Career development
Immediate start available although we will wait for the right person too.
If you are passionate about modern engineering and want to be able to make a role your own and are ready to make a significant impact, we want to hear from you.
