Manufacturing Process Engineer – Automation Development Path

Are you a Manufacturing or Mechanical Engineer who enjoys improving processes, solving problems on the shop floor, and working closely with production? Do you have an interest in automation and robotics but haven’t had the opportunity to build that skillset yet?

If yes, this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing engineering function where you will support core manufacturing improvements while developing into automation.

Manufacturing Process Engineer Opportunity :

• Join a well-established manufacturer with significant engineering investment
• Work across machining, grinding, heat treat and assembly to improve quality and throughput
• Lead continuous improvement, tooling and fixture upgrades, and process development initiatives
• Identify opportunities for automation and assist in implementation alongside a dedicated Automation Engineer
• Develop automation skills over time – robotics, PLC fundamentals, controls, and system integration
• Clear progression available across the wider group

Manufacturing Process Engineer Responsibilities :

• Support and develop manufacturing processes, ensuring repeatability and reduced variation
• Create, revise and release manufacturing plans, routings, and work instructions
• Drive lean and CI initiatives across production
• Lead small to mid-scale engineering projects from concept through completion
• Partner with quality, machining, automation, and NPI teams on process improvements
• Identify automation opportunities and participate in the design, testing and commissioning of solutions
• Provide hands-on support on the shop floor and resolve technical issues promptly

Manufacturing Process Engineer Qualifications:

• Experience in Manufacturing or Mechanical Engineering within a machining or precision manufacturing environment
• Strong foundation in tooling, fixturing, process development, and documentation
• Comfort working on the floor with operators, supervisors, and cross-functional teams
• Exposure to Lean, CI or process improvement methods
• Interest in developing automation and robotics capabilities (Robotics/PLC experience is a plus)
• 3D CAD experience preferred (SolidWorks/Inventor or similar)

Why join as a Manufacturing Process Engineer :

• Opportunity to grow from a strong Manufacturing Engineer into a hybrid Automation/Process Engineer
• Direct involvement in improving throughput, quality and new product development
• Supportive leadership with a clear commitment to engineering development
• Work on meaningful technical projects that have a visible impact across operations
• Long-term progression available into senior engineering or automation-focused role
