This is a fantastic contract opportunity to work for a global precision engineering business who pride themselves on delivering high quality and innovative engineering solutions into several critical industries.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

As the CADCAM Manufacturing Engineer, you work in conjunction with the Manufacturing Engineering Manager or Tech Lead and will be responsible for the writing, implementation, monitoring, maintaining and improving methods of Manufacturing to achieve an efficient cost-effective high standard of quality production.
