You may have experience in machining, fabrication, assembly, planning, production engineering, manufacturing engineering, methods engineering or technical planning.

This role may also suit someone currently working as a Methods Engineer, Technical Planner, Production Planner, Manufacturing Planner, Routing Engineer or Process Engineer.
Why this role may appeal:
This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys the practical link between engineering drawings, manufacturing methods, workshop planning and production delivery.
You’ll be working closely with design, machining, fitting, assembly and supply chain teams, helping ensure jobs are properly planned before they reach the shop floor.
