CNC Manufacturing Engineer

As a CNC Manufacturing Engineer within our Flexibles Manufacturing team, you will implement engineering concepts, manage technical aspects of manufacturing, and develop both new and existing product lines. You will support high-quality, cost-effective production while reducing environmental impact, and champion continuous improvement through lean methodologies. This hands-on role involves close collaboration with shop-floor staff, engineering, and manufacturing groups, with clear pathways for career progression and personal development.

• Develop and maintain offline CNC programs using Edgecam to support turning, milling and horizontal boring operations.
• Provide hands-on technical support to the workshop and resolve manufacturing and machining challenges.
• Develop, evaluate and improve machining methods, tooling and manufacturing processes to increase efficiency, quality and production performance.
• Monitor machining performance and identify opportunities to reduce cycle times and improve workshop efficiency.
• Evaluate and introduce appropriate developments in machining technology, tooling and manufacturing methods.
• Create and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) to support consistent and standardized manufacturing processes.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, quality and other relevant teams to support efficient production and resolve technical issues.
• Identify and escalate technical or manufacturing risks early, supporting effective resolution and continuity of production.

Must-Have

• Practical experience in CNC machining, including relevant experience across turning, milling and horizontal boring.
• Experience using CAD/CAM programming software within a CNC manufacturing environment.
• Engineering apprenticeship or equivalent relevant engineering/manufacturing qualification.
• Ability to understand machining processes, manufacturing methods, tooling and relevant engineering information.
• Ability to work independently on technical activities while collaborating effectively with manufacturing and shop-floor teams.
• Willingness and ability to work the required rotating shift pattern of two weeks on days followed by one week on nights.

Preferred

• Experience using Edgecam for offline CNC programming.
• Experience with current machining tooling, technologies and manufacturing methods.
• Experience applying continuous improvement or lean manufacturing principles.
• Experience with job-costing analysis.
• Experience with Flexible Pipe End Fittings or a comparable manufacturing environment.
• Degree in Manufacturing Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
