Description
We are looking for a proactive and detail-driven Process Engineer to lead the development, optimisation, and standardisation of our metal sawing and associated manufacturing processes. In this role, you will play a key part in ensuring our operations are safe, efficient, and consistently deliver high-quality results.
You’ll focus on improving cutting performance, maximising material yield, and increasing throughput, while driving process reliability across the shop floor. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you’ll embed industrial best practices, reduce variation, and identify opportunities to enhance productivity and quality.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving problems, using data to drive decisions, and leading continuous improvement initiatives. You’ll also ensure all processes meet health and safety standards, contributing to a safe and compliant working environment.
If you’re motivated by making processes better, faster, and more efficient—and want to see the real impact of your work—this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference across our operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, define, and optimise metal sawing and machining processes, including cutting parameters, tooling selection, and material performance
- Standardise processes by creating and maintaining clear work instructions and best practices to ensure consistent, compliant output
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce scrap, rework, cycle time, and consumable costs using data-led analysis
- Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards, supporting risk assessments and safe systems of work
- Provide technical support for equipment and tooling selection, trials, commissioning, and ongoing reliability improvements
- Collaborate with production, maintenance, quality, and supply chain teams to align processes with operational needs
- Monitor performance metrics, analyse trends, and deliver clear reports with actionable recommendations
- Support wider business needs by undertaking additional responsibilities as required
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.
