We're fast paced dynamic and commercially very successful machining company. We want a Process Engineering Manager with Machining Experience. We are now fully IATF 16949 accredited and supply the automotive, off-highway, heavy-truck, rail and yellow goods markets. We want someone who understands Process Control & can develop process control charts and documentation to show our processes are capable. We have had a steady upward trajectory through our engineering excellence and exceptional customer service. We want someone with the ambition to grow into Engineering Manager and then Director following existing retirement plans. We are one of the largest companies in sub-contract machining in the UK. We have only grown through the skill and hard work of our team members; we are now succession planning and need someone whos skills and values match ours. Working between a number of foundries and range of global customers across demanding highly complex, high variety, high precision and medium volume we have to be better than good as these are all competing demands.Having gained IATF accreditation we initially need you to prove out and document the existing operations to close the approvals loop, then we need you to absorb and enhance our existing New Product Introduction (NPI) process. As time and your ability progresses and develops youll be responsible for all NPI, tooling, managing the team and the goal is for you to become Engineering Director with the possibility of equity. You will have a sounds grasp of machining, understand why process capability is critical.Working with both the lead in Quality and the Quality systems manager you will ensure all the new products are introduced correctly and with the right PPAP, control plans etc to meet the customers demands and the IATF levels. This is an exciting business, sometimes youll be flying by the seat of your pants, so not for a steady regimented engineer, but for someone who throws their heart and soul in to just get it done (right) by the end of the day. Salary will probably be from £45,000 / £50,000 but a high potential star with shorter track record and more risk and therefore lower expectation or an experienced leader who now wants to runs his/her own team and is proven to be worth more will equally be considered but salary will not be a barrier to recruiting the best person for this role. Your machining skills, ability to think on your feet and drive hard to deliver a solution is critical.
