Produce practical production documentation including process flows, procedures and quality checks

What You Will Need

Strong hands on experience in a factory based production environment
Proven production line problem solving across bottlenecks, downtime, waste and quality
Experience moving manual processes towards automated or semi automated production
Familiarity with conveyors, handling systems, saws, presses, packaging or extraction equipment
Strong mechanical aptitude and practical engineering judgement
Clear communication with operators, suppliers and senior management, and a strong bias for delivery

Advantageous: experience in timber, sawmilling, pallet, crate, joinery, furniture or other wood based manufacturing; taking a new product from prototype into commercial production; practical understanding of PLC controlled equipment.

The Person

A practical, factory focused engineer who can simplify, standardise and automate manual processes, solve day to day production issues alongside operators, and balance engineering detail with commercial practicality.
