Senior Manufacturing Engineer - GTFSD
Responsibilities
Position Overview
The Senior Manufacturing Engineer within our Gas Turbines Systems Division provides technical and operational support within Manufacturing Engineering at Parker-Hannifin, Ansty Park, supporting aerospace manufacturing of air-oil separators and heat exchangers. The role improves manufacturing performance, process capability, quality, and efficiency through robust engineering control, structured problem-solving, Zero-Defect leadership, and cross-functional delivery.
In this position, you’ll support the Manufacturing Engineering Manager by coordinating priorities, allocating work, maintaining team cadence, progressing projects, supporting Capex activity, and deputising when required - CNC programming knowledge is beneficial, but not the primary focus of the role.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide senior manufacturing engineering support to Production, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Operations
- Lead structured problem solving, including containment, RCCA, corrective action, preventive action, and effectiveness checks
- Lead and support Zero Defect, PFMEA, and process risk reduction activity
- Deliver improvement projects covering safety, quality, delivery, cost, capacity, scrap, rework, cycle time, and process flow
- Manage multiple projects with clear plans, actions, owners, milestones, risks, and escalation routes
- Coordinate team priorities, allocate work, maintain cadence, and escalate blockers
- Deputise for the Manufacturing Engineering Manager in reviews, customer calls, and escalation meetings
- Prepare and support Capex requests, including technical justification, cost-benefit analysis, and implementation planning

- A Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, a related discipline, or have significant relevant experience in a regulated or safety-critical manufacturing environment alongside a HNC or HND
- Proven manufacturing engineering experience in aerospace or a similarly controlled industry, including process development, standard work, routings, tooling, work instructions, validation, production support, and controlled change
- Experience in leading manufacturing improvement projects from concept to implementation
- Capability in Lean, continuous improvement, RCCA, corrective and preventive action, work measurement, and process capability
- Ability to read, interpret, and challenge engineering drawings, specifications, and manufacturing documentation
- SAP or equivalent ERP experience, along with CAD capability, preferably SolidWorks

- Strong Microsoft Office skills
Ideally, you’ll also have
- Experience supporting customer calls, audits, technical reviews, escalations, or Product Safety activity is advantageous
