This is a varied, hands-on role offering exposure to ongoing Manufacturing Process Improvement (MPI) projects, capital investment and wider manufacturing engineering activities.

Work with production, engineering, quality teams and suppliers.

Improve equipment, tooling, processes and manufacturing efficiency.

Proven PFMEA expertise, including independently leading meetings.

Demonstrable process improvement and problem-solving experience.

A proactive, self-reliant approach with strong ownership of issues.

Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Desirable: MPI or CapEx project experience, CAD tools (AutoCAD, Fusion 360 or Creo), Siemens Teamcenter, VisMockup and NPI experience.

Working Arrangements

The role is fully on-site in Peterborough, Monday to Friday. Flexible start and finish times are available, with occasional flexibility required to support production activities. This is not a hybrid role.

The initial contract is 12 months, with potential for extension depending on business needs.
