Morson is currently recruiting a Manufacturing Engineer on behalf of our aerospace client, to join their Manufacturing Engineering team based in Broughton. This is an exciting opportunity to provide hands-on support to a fast-paced production environment, working directly at the heart of aircraft manufacturing.

As part of the lineside support team, you will play a key role in:

• Identifying, analysing and resolving recurring technical issues not directly manageable by production staff.

• Supporting production teams at shop floor level, ensuring adherence to industrial excellence targets.

• Managing technical matters such as missing parts, non-conformities, concessions, maintenance, and jigs & tools.

• Performing work order management for out-of-cycle tasks and escalating issues to specialist support functions when required.

• Anticipating capacity fluctuations and contributing to workforce competence development.

• Background in Manufacturing Engineering (aerospace preferred, but other large-scale global manufacturing sectors considered).

• Desirable: NVQ L4 / HNC or equivalent.

• Previous experience in a technical role using CATIA & SAP would be an advantage.

• Understanding of aircraft build philosophy.

• Strong communication and organisational skills, with a proactive, problem-solving approach.
