Lead Manufacturing Engineer – Aerospace

Up to £75,000

Gloucester

Want to lead a team without becoming a spreadsheet-and-meetings manager? This one keeps your hands on the work.

Our client is a fast-growing advanced composites manufacturer supplying aerospace, automotive, defence and space. They need a Manufacturing Engineering Lead to run the manufacturing engineering and tooling teams at their Gloucester plant, while still delivering technical work yourself.

You’ll:

• Lead, develop and plan the workload of the ME and Tooling teams
• Own the plant’s manufacturing engineering plan, balancing Operations’ priorities with Engineering’s standards
• Take new products from design into production through APQP, PFMEA and readiness checks
• Write the methods, routings and process documentation that build parts
• Support bids and tooling concepts
• Drive root cause problem solving when things go wrong

You’ll need:

• 5+ years in manufacturing engineering in production or NPI
• 3+ years leading a technical team
• Practical composites knowledge and an understanding of AS9100
• CAD skills, ideally SolidWorks
• Metallic machining and tooling experience is a real plus on top of the composites knoweldge, as are AFP and Six Sigma.

You’ll help set how manufacturing engineering works as the business scales internationally.
