Principal Manufacturing Engineer
Based in Henlow
Salary up to £50,000
Most Manufacturing Engineers are good at the technical side. Fewer are good at the people side. This role needs both.
You'll be leading a team of Senior Manufacturing Engineers on a site that's growing, with real investment going in, production rates increasing, and a pipeline that isn't slowing down. That means your fingerprints will be on how this manufacturing function scales, not just how it runs.
Day to day: managing workloads, driving CI, representing the team at cross-functional forums, and getting involved in DfM conversations with the design authority early enough to actually make a difference. There's also genuine scope to get into manufacturing architecture and factory of the future concepts if that interests you.
You'll need a solid engineering background, experience interpreting design drawings and developing manufacturing methods, and the confidence to lead a team rather than just work...
