Advanced Manufacturing Engineer

For over 140 years our products have helped ensure the safe, reliable operations of key industries. With a passion for precision and partnership, Celeros Flow Technology continues this heritage of high performance and dependability, providing mission critical, sustainable flow control solutions for our customers around the globe.

Celeros Flow Technology is looking for individuals with a voice and a vision. We embrace change, diversity and promote new ways of looking at old ideas. We seek talented professionals to join our world‑class team of innovators in a global, collaborative & multi‑cultural environment, where you will be challenged, supported, and inspired to be extraordinary.

We are seeking a forward‑thinking Advanced Manufacturing Engineer who brings technical depth, a continuous‑improvement mindset, and the ability to drive step‑change performance across machining, assembly, hydro test, and pump testing operations.

This strategic role is responsible for developing, optimising, and industrialising advanced manufacturing processes to ensure reliable, cost‑effective, and production‑ready solutions. The role goes beyond day‑to‑day support: it focuses on future capability, technology adoption, automation, and process excellence.

• Ensure advanced programming and tooling is in place for the CNC machining processes and optimisation of new CNC programs (Siemens, Mazak, Heidenhain) using simulation, cycle‑time analysis, and tooling optimisation.
• Work with the ME to drive adoption of new machining technologies, automation, probing strategies, tool‑life monitoring, and offline programming improvements.
• Lead the development of next‑generation tooling concepts, advanced fixturing, jigs, work holding solutions, and robust setups that maximise repeatability and productivity.
• Align with Operations and Engineering to ensure manufacturing capability and technology readiness levels, to improve productivity and out for future projects.

• Design, validate, and implement lean, scalable, and highly capable processes across machining, assembly, and test.
• Conduct detailed value‑stream analysis, bottleneck removal, and throughput optimisation initiatives.

• Champion digital tools and Industry 4.0 solutions such as machining data capture, OEE monitoring, and digital work instructions.
• Use data‑driven insights to reduce scrap, rework, and variation, and to optimise machine utilisation and cycle times.

• Provide technical leadership to resolve complex machining, process, and test issues, ensuring robust corrective and preventive actions.
• Own the technical governance of CNC coding standards, machining strategies, tooling specifications, and change control.
• Guide teams through advanced productivity improvements, hydro‑test optimisation, and pump performance testing enhancements.

• Partner with suppliers to co‑develop advanced tooling, machining strategies, and process improvements.
• Collaborate with Engineering on manufacturability, tolerance optimisation, and early‑stage product development (DFM/DFA).

• Lead initiatives to reduce cost of poor quality through process capability improvements, NCR reduction, and improved root‑cause analysis.
• Develop rectification processes for assemblies, castings, and bought‑in product, ensuring quality and cost alignment.
• Create and maintain robust process documentation, specs, SOPs, and technical standards.

• Provide coaching and technical training to operators, apprentices, and engineering colleagues on advanced machining and process optimisation.
• Support organisational change by promoting best practices, continuous improvement culture, and adoption of new technologies.
• Ensure compliance with all Health, Safety, and Environmental requirements.

• HNC/HND Mechanical Engineering with extensive proven track record in a similar role that encompasses…
