COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our client, a leader in innovative engineering solutions, is committed to excellence and delivering high-quality, cost-effective products that meet stringent standards. The Engineering department is at theforefront of this mission, and they are seeking an experienced and passionate Engineering Manager to lead this team to new heights. COMPANY USP Ultra-tight tolerance and complexity They manufacture very high-complexity components for aero-engine, power generation, and airframe applications, often on legacy programmes.

Long heritage + experience Founded in 1938; decades of working with challenging engineering tasks and legacy systems.

Comprehensive capability & special processes in-house Their capabilities include machining (turning, milling, grinding), non-destructive testing (NDT), heat treatment, pressure testing, special cleaning, etc. Having these special processes in house gives more control, shorter lead times, and quality consistency.

Legacy spares / reverse engineering They support legacy engine programmes — meaning when parts are no longer in production, Broadway works to reverse engineer or replicate them using modern techniques.

JOB PURPOSE A technically capable Manufacturing Engineer is required to support, enhance, and optimise production processes, particularly in the aerospace and precision engineering sectors. This role is responsible for driving continuous improvement, ensuring product quality, and introducing new products to manufacturing. A strong understanding of CNC machining, process design, and compliance with industry standards is essential. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Technical Support

Provide hands-on engineering support to operators and production staff.

Troubleshoot manufacturing challenges and implement root-cause solutions.

Liaise with design and quality teams to resolve technical issues.

Tooling & Equipment

Specify, procure, and maintain jigs, fixtures, and production tooling.

Develop custom tools and supports for efficient and safe manufacturing.

Continuous Improvement & Quality Focus

Promote a zero-defect, Right First Time approach across all functions.

Participate in or lead Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen projects.

Work across departments to reduce risk and eliminate inefficiencies.

Seek out opportunities for cost saving and process standardisation.

Documentation & Compliance
