You'll be expected to get involved, understand what is happening, test solutions and help fix them.

Technical Engineer who enjoys getting onto the shop floor and working out why things happen? We're recruiting a Technical Engineer for an established specialist manufacturing business. The focus is very much on the technical side of manufacturing: understanding processes, solving problems, improving performance, supporting production and helping develop better ways of doing things. There is also a significant quality element, so you'll gain exposure to audits, customer quality issues, PPAP, APQP and quality systems without this becoming a predominantly paperwork-based Quality Engineer role. The Role Working closely with production, engineering, quality, suppliers and customers, you'll become a key technical point of contact for manufacturing and coating processes. You'll be involved in: Providing day-to-day technical support to manufacturing Troubleshooting process and product problems Investigating coating defects and production failures Running technical trials and evaluating results Optimising processes to improve quality, consistency and productivity Establishing and maintaining process parameters and specifications Analysing production data and identifying opportunities for improvement Supporting the introduction of new products, processes and technologies Testing coating performance including thickness, adhesion, appearance and corrosion resistance Working with production teams to turn technical findings into practical improvements Supporting continuous improvement and engineering projects Alongside this, you'll gain good exposure to the quality engineering side of the operation, including customer concerns, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, internal audits, PPAP, APQP, FMEAs, Control Plans and quality documentation. What We're Looking For You'll be a technically minded engineer who enjoys understanding how and why manufacturing processes work. Ideally, you'll have experience within areas such as: Metal coatings or surface treatment Industrial coatings or paint Electroplating or anodising Materials or chemical processing Corrosion protection Process manufacturing Surface preparation and finishing We'd also consider someone from a broader manufacturing or process engineering background who has the technical grounding and curiosity to learn the coatings side. A Degree, HNC, HND or equivalent in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Engineering or another relevant technical discipline would be ideal. Some exposure to quality systems, ISO standards, root-cause analysis, PPAP, APQP, FMEA or continuous improvement would be useful, but you do not need to be a career Quality Engineer. Why Consider It? This is a good opportunity for someone who wants a role that sits at the crossroads of engineering, manufacturing, materials and quality. You won't just be writing reports about problems. You'll be expected to get involved, understand what is happening, test solutions and help fix them. You'll receive up to £42,000, pension, on-site parking, ongoing training and the opportunity to develop further within the technical and engineering function. If you're a Technical Engineer, Process Engineer, Materials Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer or technically biased Quality Engineer looking for a varied, hands-on role, we'd like to hear from you.
