Full-Time Permanent

** Make one mistake every day - just make sure it's not the same one **

  • Are you a Manufacturing Engineer who wants the freedom to take risks it would benefit the business?
  • Would it encourage you to be a more free thinking Process Engineer, and have some fun in the process?


True to their spirit of innovation, this employer believes that you have to think outside of the box if you are going to deliver successful change. If you want to be part of a fun working atmosphere, free to take risks and pursue new ways of doing your job, this could be the place for you.

Today's construction industry is moving increasingly towards a manufactured solution and candidates who hold skill sets in both areas are an ever more compelling choice for employers.

We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to join this new venture at the early stages of their journey, and to give an illustration of how quickly things are moving, this is to replace a member of the team who has already progressed to a new position within the company. This should indicate that there is real opportunity with this great employer, and we have found that many of our candidates have selected this company over more established employers when presented with several offers.

You will be a member of a team where you will be providing a real direction at all phases of the manufacturing process, and managing a small team on the shop floor, ensuring they are suitably equipped with the tools, knowledge and expertise to provide a quality solution working safely. As you would expect with any operation that places importance on working collaboratively, you will be working closely with your colleagues in Sales and Design as well as all parts of the manufacturing operation.

Please contact Sue or Paul on 0117 959 2008 if you are able to meet all or most of the following:

  • HND / HNC in an Engineering discipline
  • Proven understanding of lean methodologies (eg 5S, Six Sigma etc) and Continuous Improvement
  • Solid IT skills (especially Excel) with some practical experience of CAD
  • Practical experience of PFMEA and Control Plans
  • Proven track record in process design and you should be able to design robust production processes, able to meet volume targets and quality/cost/delivery measures
  • Previously involved in NPI and NPD processes
  • You should also be able to demonstrate your strong communication skills (both written and verbal) and a good commercial awareness
  • Good interpersonal skills and demonstrating strong team leadership
  • Able to demonstrate passion and enthusiasm


You will also need to have an awareness of the commercial aspects of your role, and work to sometimes demanding deadlines and targets, whilst adapting to change and uncertainty.

If you can provide all or most of the above together with experience in modular buildings, we would be particularly interested in speaking to you.

This is a great opportunity to take your career in a really exciting direction, and we would therefore like to hear from you if you feel you are a good match. Please apply or call us for a confidential discussion.
