Senior Manufacturing Engineer
Gaydon, Warwickshire

Monday to Thursday: 6:30am - 3:30pm | Friday: 6:30am - 11:30am

Join Aston Martin and play a pivotal role in the manufacture of some of the world's most iconic luxury sports cars.

Manpower is recruiting on behalf of Aston Martin for an experienced Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join their Manufacturing Engineering team at Gaydon. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a world-renowned automotive brand, supporting both current vehicle programmes and the introduction of future models.

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and implementing manufacturing processes, tooling, jigs, fixtures and production improvements that support quality, efficiency and safety across the assembly environment. Working closely with Production, Logistics, Facilities, Quality and Product Engineering teams, you will drive continuous improvement initiatives and ensure manufacturing processes are robust, efficient and capable of delivering Aston Martin's exceptional build standards.

This is a varied and hands-on position, involving a combination of shop floor support and engineering project work. You will create and maintain process documentation, support facility and layout improvements, specify tooling requirements, investigate manufacturing issues and deliver practical solutions that enhance quality and productivity. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to future manufacturing concepts and Industry 4.0 initiatives as Aston Martin continues to invest in advanced manufacturing technologies.

The successful candidate will have previous Manufacturing Engineering experience within an automotive, aerospace or similar manufacturing environment. You should possess strong problem-solving skills, experience of process improvement methodologies and the ability to analyse and interpret data to identify effective solutions. Knowledge of PFMEA, Process Control Plans, assembly processes, tooling and production environments would be highly advantageous.

Applicants should hold a minimum ONC qualification in an engineering discipline, with an HNC, degree or equivalent experience preferred. A recognised engineering apprenticeship would also be beneficial.

We are looking for someone who can confidently manage projects, communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels and work collaboratively across multiple functions. A proactive approach, strong organisational skills and a commitment to continuous improvement will be key to success in this role.

As this position supports live manufacturing operations, flexibility is essential. The role is approximately 50% shop floor based and 50% office based, and there may be occasions where support is required outside standard working hours or at other Aston Martin locations, including St Athan.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a prestigious automotive manufacturer and make a genuine impact on the production of world-class vehicles.
