Taking responsibility forsupporting the manufacturing department with the execution of its targets by maintaining the tooling and systems required to do so, including the generation and maintenance of work instructions, Operating procedures, and Test specifications, tooling maintenance and liaising with other departments as required. Employment: Full-time permanent opportunity. Location: North London. Shift: Monday to Friday. Basic Annual Salary Range: (Competitivedepending on experience). You must be eligible to work in a full-time permanent position in the UK, and be able to successfully complete full DBS, employment, and reference checks. Some of this information will be requested prior to interview during assessment stage so we know you have Right to Work check. Job Functions: Production Process Management Develop, implement, and optimise production processessuch as Work Instructions, Operating procedures, and Test specifications. Define process parameters, work instructions, and assembly procedures. Ensure processes meet safety, quality, and productivity targets. New Product Introduction Collaborate with R&D and design engineering to industrialize new products. Develop pilot builds, process validation, and transition to full-scale manufacturing. Assist in design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) reviews. Equipment & Tooling Support Specify, procure, and maintain production equipment, jigs, and fixtures. Diagnose equipment failures and coordinate repairs with maintenance teams. Support automation initiatives (e.g. automated assembly or test systems). Quality Assurance Collaborate with Quality Engineering to establish in-process and final inspection methods. Conduct root-cause analysis for defects, scrap, and rework issues. Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to reduce non-conformities. Continuous Improvement & Lean Manufacturing Lead improvement activities using Lean, Six Sigma, 5S, Kaizen, and other methodologies. Analyse production data to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Drive cost reduction initiatives through process optimization and material savings. Production Support Provide day-to-day technical support to operators and technicians. Train production staff on new processes, tools, and quality standards. Ensure production documentation is accurate, up to date, and properly controlled. Requirements: Production engineering, manufacturing support, or process engineering experience. Experience with electromechanical assemblies (motors, sensors, PCBs, actuators, wiring, etc.). Exposure to high-mix or low-volume manufacturing environments desirable. Technical Competencies: Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical manufacturing processes. Familiarity with KPI performance management, process analysis and technical report writing. Knowledge of Lean manufacturing and quality tools (FMEA, SPC, 8D, Ishikawa, etc.). Experienced with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, or similar). Soft Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills. Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Detail-oriented and committed to high-quality work. Physical Attributes: Standing, walking, and bending throughout the day. Capable of manual handling / lifting on a regular basis, throughout the day. The above list will be subject to the Companys duty to consider any reasonable adjustment under the Equality Act 2010.
