To be responsible for producing work instructions and technical documents during the design phase, to assist the Designer to produce drawings and parts lists on time, and parts to be delivered into the Cell, to enable the Cell to produce on time products.

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

Production

To enable the cell to produce products within the Cell, according to the requirements of the Company, using the Master Operational Plan (MOP) or project schedule, and to ensure these products meet the required quality level and are produced within the time allowance. Your role in this process is to ensure that the Cell has at all times:

1. Up to date work instructions, drawings and parts lists

2. Adequate process information

3. Sufficient tooling

4. Sufficient parts and materials to meet output targets

5. Timely and relevant engineering support

6. Realistic cost targets which are compatible with product margin objectives.

7. Up to date Health and Safety information and equipment.

To identify tooling and process changes which may be necessary to enable the Cell to achieve its cost, improvement and quality targets. All of the above will require you to liaise with and co-ordinate activities with Design & Purchasing functions within the business, and to work closely with the Cell Leader, Supervisors and Managers.

Communication

Technical

Being fully competent in all methods & measurements of processes within your Cell you will provide support, as required, to all personnel on technical issues that relate to the activities within the Cell. As an Engineer, you will be frequently asked to provide support for other areas of the Company, and this will mean you will report functionally (i.e. on a day-to-day basis) to the relevant manager from this other area of the Company.
