Manufacturing Engineer in Shipley, Bradford

Join one of the world’s most technically respected names in the design and manufacture of specialist industrial machinery - and be part of something brand new from day one.

With decades of engineering heritage, a global customer base and facilities in West Yorkshire, the USA and Asia, this business has launched a dedicated new division designing and manufacturing vending technologies.

As Manufacturing Engineer within this new team, you will play a key role in setting up a brand new assembly line from the ground up. That runs from designing new equipment and systems through to supporting new product introduction and championing change management. You will work cross-functionally across production, CI, maintenance and R&D, supported by a Senior Manufacturing Engineer throughout project phases. This is a rare chance to shape a new operation rather than inherit one, in a technically stimulating environment with real variety and real purpose.
