  • Create CNC programs and setup sheets to meet right-first-time targets.
  • Define manufacturing routings and methods for planning and budget control.
  • Collaborate with machinists and process engineers to ease manufacture and drive continuous improvement.
  • Lead quality concern resolution using tools like 8D, 5 Whys, and fishbone diagrams.
  • Deliver manufacturing-based projects that enhance performance and sustainability.

Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:

  • NVQ Level 4/5, HNC/HND or equivalent in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Proven experience in manufacturing engineering, including DFM, cost control, and inspection planning
  • Skilled in offline programming and operating 3, 4, and 5-axis multi-tasking machining centres
  • Proficient in CAD/CAM systems and tool management
  • Experience with MRP systems and Microsoft Office
  • Strong project management and change management capabilities.

Personal Attributes

  • Enthusiastic team player with a solution-focused mindset.
  • Self-motivated, resilient, and accountable for ambitious targets.
  • Excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
  • Calm under pressure and confident in decision-making.
  • A role model for McLaren's values and behaviours.
