Manufacturing Engineer/Buyer
Leicester, Leicestershire, England

This is a dual focused role. Our Client is seek a person who has worked on the shop floor in an aerospace manufacturing environment; coming from a CNC or ME background.  The main aspects of the role are to liaise with the Manufacturing Engineers in relation to materials or components (estimating the cost of forging, machining prototypes) and then source the items that they need to increase production (nickel alloys in particular). Drawing sign off for aero engine parts is also part of the role.

You must have an aerospace manufacturing background as our Client is solely an aerospace component provider; the experience gained should
be on larger aerospace parts rather than small.

The other element of the role is that of a Buyer; it can be taught by the firm so if you have the ME experience listed above and fancy a more diverse role, then this would suit you down to the ground.

It will involve liaising with suppliers for the best price available and measuring their performance against agreed KPI’s.  Direct experience of these elements is not needed as they can be taught; but a willingness to learn these skills is paramount as the successful candidate will be working almost independently.  It’s a great opportunity to learn new techniques whilst retaining the Manufacturing Engineering role; ultimately you will be working on a new test rig for the firm.

Educational requirements are a minimum of a HND/HNC in engineering; apprentice trained (Tool making or CNC) would be very sought after
too; this role is a very interesting and challenging with an opportunity to develop the role how you see fit at a later date.
