Role Overview
We are seeking a practical, hands-on, and highly motivated New Product Development and Production Engineer to join our manufacturing team. Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you will be responsible for converting customer orders and product requirements into detailed engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and executable production plans. You will then coordinate the production team—including welders, fitters, technicians, and helpers—through to completion. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working on the factory floor, solving real-world fabrication and assembly challenges, and driving continuous product improvement. You will ensure that every machine is built correctly, on schedule, and meets our quality standards before handover for painting and despatch.

- Monitor work-in-progress (WIP) and production completion against agreed schedules.
- Coordinate material and bought-out component requirements with the Stores team and Operations Manager.
- Identify material shortages early and support timely resolution.
- Ensure production uses the correct drawings, BOM revisions, materials, and specifications.
- Resolve technical, fabrication, fitting, and manufacturing problems arising during production.
- Coordinate prototype manufacture, product trials, testing, and engineering modifications.
- Improve product manufacturability, standardization, productivity, and ease of assembly.
- Reduce production rework, material wastage, and avoidable manufacturing delays.
- Maintain engineering drawing, BOM, and revision-control records.
- Support development of production jigs, fixtures, tools, and manufacturing methods.
- Monitor workmanship and immediately escalate significant quality issues to the Operations Manager.
- Work closely with the Service team to incorporate recurring field feedback into product improvements.
- Support quality investigations and corrective actions related to engineering or production issues.
- Maintain safe, organized production activities and ensure team members follow applicable work instructions.
- Develop the capability of production personnel through practical guidance and on-the-job technical support.
