Manufacturing Engineer

Provide day to day engineering support to the operations team from the adnaved machining cell through to build. Working closely with operations and quality to resolve technical issues on the line and within the supply chain. As the site manufacturing engineer for machining you will be accountable for the quality and performance of the machining cell and machined components supplied to the Serivce Technology Centres with North America and Europe. You will also work along side the machining Global Process Owner (GPO) and other manufacturing engineering around the world to improve the uptime and OEE of the cell.

Support the day to day operations from machining through to build

• Ensure machining capacity is available to support the output through to build within the Chandler Serivce Technology Centre and the other Serivce Technology Centres in North America and Europe.
• Ensure the TPM schedules are adhered to to ensure the performance Key Process Indicators are achieved.
• Support problem soloving activities which impact the operational Key Process Indicators of the Serivce Technology Centre.
• Act as the technical authourty for the cell controlling the machining programmes, change management and re-validation using Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).
• Comfortable in training Manufacturing technicians to the process and working as part of a team, with Quality, Operations, Maintenance, Health and Safety, Lean.
• Become a Subject Matter Expert in Machining process, providing guidance and support to Global Teams

Machining Improvements

• Lead machining improvement projects from concept through the change management cycle.
• Support the development of the next generation of machining.
