Operations Engineering Manager | Medical Device Manufacturing | Fife | Full-time | Hybrid
KG MedTech Recruitment Specialists are working with a medical device manufacturer in Fife who are hiring an Operations Engineering Manager.
What the job actually involves
The site has to build to plan, and your team is what makes that possible. Investigations, improvement projects, line support, and sustaining work all sit with the same team, and you set the priorities.
When something fails, whether that's a supplied part, something off the line, or a unit back from a customer, it comes to you. Proper root cause, containment while you work it, a fix that holds. Change orders need to keep moving and close out, with the paperwork tidy enough that an audit becomes straightforward.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There's also the longer view. Looking at what keeps coming back and doing something preventive about it, rather than fixing the same thing twice a year.
The rest is people. Priorities, development, coaching engineers through problems.
Who I'm looking for
- Already managing engineers. Not a first step into management.
- Around 10 years in manufacturing.
- Strong investigations and change control experience.
- Someone who'll hold their ground with quality, supply chain, and suppliers.
Medical device experience is a bonus, not a requirement. Precision engineering, precision machining, aerospace, and defence all count, particularly with complex electro-mechanical products behind you.
