The successful candidate will report directly to the Lead Production Engineer and will be responsible for delivering technical solutions that meet both customer and business requirements.

Duties will include:

• The creation of sound manufacturing layouts, using up to date methodology to meet customer demands.
• The creation of quality offline CNC programs with a clear focus on delivering project margin.
• Ensuring that equipment and tooling is being utilised effectively.
