A long-established precision engineering and manufacturing group in Bradford is looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to drive efficiency, quality and capability across a modern CNC machining facility.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who understands what happens in the machining process. You'll own the process from method planning and programming through to fixturing and proving out, and you'll be the person the shop floor comes to when a job isn't running as it should.


The role

  • Programme machined components using Edgecam software or similar, from model through to post-processed, proven code
  • Develop manufacturing methods, routings and work instructions for new and existing parts
  • Select and optimise tooling to improve cycle times, tool life and surface finish
  • Design, specify and introduce fixtures, jigs and workholding solutions
  • Support first-off, proving out and handover to production
  • Investigate production issues — scrap, non-conformance, bottlenecks — and put fixes in place
  • Drive continuous improvement to reduce cost and lead time across the cell


What you'll need

  • Apprentice trained and have a solid CNC machining background
  • Edgecam CAD/CAM experience (other packages considered where Edgecam can be picked up quickly)
  • Strong tooling knowledge — selection, application and optimisation
  • Experience designing or introducing fixtures, jigs and workholding
  • Confident reading engineering drawings and GD&T
  • Engineering qualification (HNC/HND or equivalent) or apprentice-trained with strong practical experience
  • Low-to-medium volume, high-mix precision manufacturing experience is ideal


What's on offer

  • Salary - £42-46k depending on experience
  • 25 days holiday + statutory bank holidays
  • Company pension
  • Genuine investment in plant and technology, with real scope to shape how the department works
  • Stable, established business with a strong order book
