Manufacturing Engineer

If you're a Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys improving real processes, not just writing reports, this is a role where you'll genuinely make an impact.

We're recruiting for a well-established advanced manufacturing business, part of a globally recognised engineering group supplying specialist solutions to major international brands. The Dundee site plays a key role in production, with ongoing investment in technology, processes and people, creating a stable, long-term environment where engineers can develop and contribute.

This is a hands‑on position sitting between design and production, helping turn engineering ideas into efficient, repeatable manufacturing processes.

You’ll work closely with production, engineering and leadership teams to improve manufacturing performance across safety, quality, delivery and cost.

• Developing and improving manufacturing processes, methods and workflows
• Supporting the introduction of new products into production
• Creating routings, time standards and process documentation
• Analysing production performance (downtime, cycle time, yield, efficiency)
• Recommending tooling, layout or process improvements
• Supporting equipment maintenance planning and operational reliability
• Ensuring manufacturing activities comply with relevant standards and policies

This is a practical, problem‑solving role suited to someone who enjoys understanding how things work and making them work better.

They’re looking for someone technically strong, curious, and proactive.

• Have experience in a Manufacturing Engineering or similar role
• Understand production processes within assembly, test or inspection environments
• Are comfortable analysing data and identifying improvement opportunities
• Have experience with ERP/MRP systems
• Can work effectively with both shop‑floor teams and engineering colleagues
• Communicate clearly and take ownership of problems
