Hours: 7:00am - 4:00pm Monday to Thursday, 7:00am - 12:00pm Friday
At Aston Martin, we create some of the world's most beautiful high-performance vehicles. Behind every vehicle is a team of talented engineers dedicated to delivering exceptional quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. We are currently seeking an experienced Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join our Manufacturing Engineering team at our state-of-the-art St Athan facility.
As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will play a key role in the continuous improvement of our Tub and Body Construction operations, supporting both current production programmes and future vehicle introductions. Working within a collaborative engineering team, you will be responsible for delivering robust manufacturing processes, tooling solutions, quality improvements, and production support activities that ensure our vehicles meet the highest standards of excellence.
This is a varied and hands-on role where you will lead manufacturing projects from concept through to implementation, working closely with Production, Quality, Product Engineering, Logistics, Facilities, and external suppliers. You will be responsible for developing and refining production processes, introducing and commissioning new tooling and equipment, supporting dimensional and quality improvements, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across the manufacturing environment.
You will investigate and resolve production-related manufacturing issues, ensure process documentation is maintained to the highest standard, and contribute to facility and layout planning activities that improve efficiency, quality, safety, and operator ergonomics. The role also involves supporting new model introductions and ensuring seamless integration of product changes into the production environment.
