Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer

Location: Cramlington

Contract Type: Permanent

Working Pattern: Full Time, Days Only

Are you a hands-on, improvement-focused Manufacturing Engineer eager to make a real impact on production processes? If you thrive in a dynamic environment and love being close to the action, we have an exciting opportunity for you! Our client, a well-established manufacturing organisation in Cramlington, is looking to expand its engineering team with a proactive Manufacturing Engineer who is ready to roll up their sleeves and drive change.

The Role

In this key position, you will play an integral role in enhancing manufacturing performance across machining, heavy engineering, and associated production processes. You'll be on the shop floor, collaborating closely with production teams to identify challenges, implement effective solutions, and establish robust, repeatable processes. Your contributions will be visible and impactful—this isn't a desk job!

Key Responsibilities

  • Support and Enhance Processes: Boost efficiency, quality, and throughput in manufacturing operations.
  • Investigate and Solve Issues: Utilise structured problem-solving techniques to tackle production challenges head-on.
  • Drive Continuous Improvement: Focus on reducing downtime, waste, and scrap through proactive initiatives.
  • Maintain Documentation: Help develop and update manufacturing documentation to reflect current practices accurately.
  • Collaborate Effectively: Work closely with production, quality, and engineering teams to uphold high standards.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
