PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MANAGER
POWER CONVERSION SYSTEMS
RUGBY
Reporting to the Site Manufacturing Manager, the Production Engineering Manager will be responsible for increasing production process efficiency on site. You will have budgetary responsibility for the Production Engineering department and you will be involved in capital projects (Industrialisation of Electrical Rotating Machines Manufacturing) as the site grows. With management responsibility for a team of skilled production engineers, you will implement measurement and work study systems and actively monitor and address process efficiency through relevant monitoring methods.
This role will require you to supervise Production Engineering and Production Industrialisation, driving culture change and continuous improvement in order to maintain and develop the facility in a safe manner, as well as driving the improvement of manufacturing methods, by using knowledge of product design, materials and parts, fabrication processes, tooling and production equipment capabilities, assembly methods, and quality control standards. You will also drive process risk analysis before establishing processes by using FMEA Process.
The Production Engineering Manager manages the analysis of the process capability, workflow and Design Layout of equipment/workstations/workspace for maximum efficiency by respecting lean principles and acts as a major agent for the analysis of quality issues (Le. Rework, defects) using the OROC problem solving techniques (Le. 5why's, 5W2H, PDCA, etc...). You will also be the link between the Engineering team and the Manufacturing department in order to improve the manufacturability of the product as well as getting as accurate as possible needs for the manufacturing of the rotating machines.

You will also be the link between the Engineering team and the Manufacturing department in order to improve the manufacturability of the product as well as getting as accurate as possible needs for the manufacturing of the rotating machines. You must be able to drive estimations of production times, staffing requirements and related cost costs in order to inform management decisions, as well as confering with management, engineering and other staff regarding manufacturing capabilities, production schedules, and other considerations to facilitate and improve production processes.
You will also be a major agent in the implementation of any lean initiatives and in any other continuous improvements in any area. You will manage the career development and training plans for individuals within the Production Engineering organisation and oversee the development and implementation of continuous improvement systems. Working closely with the Manufacturing Manager, you will develop and implement the strategic vision and direction to improve equipment reliability. You will be required to develop metrics and a reporting system necessary to track progress, identifying key improvement areas across all manufacturing systems.
To succeed as Production Engineering Manager you should be qualified to HND level or above in an engineering discipline, and will be an existing Production Engineering Manager from a manufacturing environment with significant experience of culture change. You must have experience of Lean Manufacturing, while experience of financial management would be an advantage. A confident leader and skilled communicator, you should come from a Heavy Manufacturing Background.
You will be joining a new and successful company, who are a former ALSTOM business and a global specialist in Power Conversion. They provide customised solutions to convert electrical energy through the optimum application of technology in drives, controls, motors and generators. Their customers operate in the three main markets of Marine and Offshore, Oil & Gas, and Process Industries as well as in many specialised areas offering services from design-only to full turnkey systems including installation and commissioning.
