Grangemouth · Permanent
Location: Grangemouth
Salary: £29,000 - £32,000 + Benefits
Are you a Mechanical or Chemical Engineering graduate looking to build a career within manufacturing?
We are recruiting a Graduate Manufacturing Process Engineer for a large and complex manufacturing operation near Grangemouth.
This is a broad, hands-on engineering role where you will work on improvement projects right across the manufacturing site. Rather than being restricted to one particular area, you could be involved in projects covering plant and equipment performance, process optimisation, environmental impact, waste reduction, safety or operational efficiency.
It's an excellent opportunity to take your engineering knowledge and apply it to real manufacturing challenges.
What will you be doing?
- Support and deliver manufacturing and process improvement projects
- Investigate production and engineering problems using root cause analysis
- Analyse operational data to identify improvement opportunities
- Improve manufacturing processes, plant performance and efficiency
- Contribute to environmental, emissions and waste reduction projects
- Support equipment and plant improvement initiatives
- Participate in safety and operational improvement projects
- Work closely with production, maintenance, engineering and quality teams
- Produce clear technical analysis and project reports
What are we looking for?
You'll have a degree in Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering, with a Master's qualification preferred but not essential.
We're happy to consider different levels of practical experience. You could be:
- A graduate looking for your first permanent engineering position
- A graduate with an industrial placement or internship
- An engineer who has already gained relevant manufacturing experience
Previous manufacturing experience is advantageous but isn't essential.
More important is that you can demonstrate strong engineering fundamentals, analytical and problem-solving ability, curiosity and a genuine interest in understanding how manufacturing processes and equipment work and how they can be improved.
Why consider this opportunity?
This isn't a narrowly defined graduate position.
You'll gain exposure to a wide variety of engineering challenges across a large manufacturing site and work alongside experienced people from engineering, production, maintenance and quality.
For someone looking to build a career in manufacturing engineering, process improvement, projects or operational excellence, it offers an excellent foundation and considerable scope to develop.
