Reporting directly to the Engineering Manager and joining a specialist team this role carries specific responsibility for the production introduction of new composite components or components offering performance upgrades in existing product. This will include the system design of new tooling or production processes that increase throughput or which offer significant improvements in yield, quality and lifetime.

Candidates should be degree or equivalent qualified engineers with a composite manufacturing systems specialisation and should have already had initial working experience within a composite components manufacturing environment which operates to Lean principles. Aerospace experience may be advantageous, although other advanced manufacturing backgrounds such as automotive or power generation would also be relevant. Set against the double digit percentage output growth of this plant, prospects are excellent in this Manufacturing Engineer role with the immediate and imminent introduction of a number of new product lines and associated innovative manufacturing practices.

Clearly, this is a unique opportunity with a world-leader and carries with it significant technical challenge and potential for job satisfaction and career fulfilment together with an ability to make an impact on the business.

Interfacing Product Development with Volume Manufacture

A unique Opportunity to join a Market Leading Aerospace Company with a Worldwide Presence

Our Client is a market leader operating from a renowned world-class facility in Northern Ireland. The operation is expanding with a very strong order book and services the requirements of the world commercial aviation industry where it has a significant market share in its sector.

The large manufacturing operation is constantly introducing new products which satisfy the market requirements for lighter weight, higher performance and design flair in a user environment which demands attractive but ergonomically functional designs. Many of these products contain composite elements or components which are designed and manufactured in-house.

The Tooling Engineer role will report directly to the Engineering Manager and will carry responsibility for overseeing all tooling related activities within the composites area. This will include the provision of advice at the initial design stages, the design and specification of production tooling for composite components and the programme management of the vendor selection and procurement of production tooling. The role will follow the introduction of all new products and will retain a responsibility for monitoring tooling performance and the operation of a maintenance and upgrade programme.

Ideal candidates for the Tooling Engineer role will already be experienced tooling practitioners with broad experience of tooling processes and procedures associated with composite component manufacture. They will have initial engineering qualifications to HND or possibly degree level although practical experience in a relevant field remains the primary requirement. The tooling background could also include press or injection mould tooling with repetitive single use applications. Aerospace industry experience would be advantageous but is not essential.

Joining the design and production engineering team at this time in the company’s development represents a truly unique opportunity to contribute to the organisation’s growth and future success. The company has an open, people oriented culture which fosters initiative and has a strong belief in people development. There is a broad range of benefits, competitive salary and relocation assistance is available if required.
