Industrialisation Engineer

Qualifications

• Skills & Experience
• Degree or equivalent experience in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, manufacturing processes, and production workflows.
• Experience supporting Make-to-Order (MTO) and/or Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing operations would be a plus.
• Ability to analyse and resolve discrepancies between CAD models, drawings, CAM outputs, and manufacturing documentation.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to identify root causes and implement sustainable solutions.
• Experience working with ERP, PDM and/or PLM systems.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and data analysis tools.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with both Engineering and Operations teams.
• Willingness to spend the majority of working time supporting activities directly on the shop floor.
• Experience within sheet metal fabrication, painting, assembly, or electro-mechanical manufacturing environments.
• Knowledge of CAD and CAM systems.
• Experience with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, Solid Edge, or similar software.
• Understanding of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA).
• Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement experience.
• Experience performing time studies, process mapping and capacity analysis.
• Experience implementing engineering data governance and document control processes.
• Knowledge of configuration management principles in an ETO environment.
• Key Behaviours
• A hands-on approach with strong shop-floor engagement.
• Ownership and accountability for problem resolution.
• Strong attention to detail and data accuracy.
• A practical, solution-oriented mindset.
• A willingness to challenge existing processes and drive improvement.
• Resilience and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills.
• Ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills.
• A customer-focused mindset with an understanding of delivery commitments.
• A bias for action and implementation rather than analysis alone.
• Success Measures
• The role will be measured against:
• Reduction in manufacturing disruptions caused by technical and engineering issues.
• Accuracy and integrity of BOMs, routings, drawings, and manufacturing data.
• Timely and effective implementation of engineering changes.
• Reduction in CAD/CAM, drawing, and manufacturing data discrepancies.
• Reduction in production downtime associated with technical documentation issues.
• Improved manufacturing productivity, efficiency, and throughput.
• Reduction in rework, waste, and non-conformities linked to engineering data.
• Successful industrialisation of new products and customer-specific configurations.
• Improved manufacturing readiness at product release.
• Increased compliance with engineering change control and data management processes.
