Job Description
This is a newly created role, representing a strategic investment in the company's operational capability. The successful candidate will lead the delivery of a structured process improvement project aimed at transforming how design information flows through to manufacturing execution — reducing inefficiency, rework, and administrative overhead while building the foundation for scalable, reliable production.
The manufacturing Engineer will apply structured engineering methodology to diagnose current workflow weaknesses, design an integrated solution, and embed sustainable processes into the business. This is not an implementation role — it is an engineering leadership role, requiring analytical rigour, independent problem solving, and the ability to translate academic knowledge into practical, lasting change.
