Echelon Engineers is working exclusively with a well-established and rapidly growing manufacturing business in Lincolnshire to appoint a Production & Manufacturing Engineer at management level.
Our client is a specialist manufacturer with over 40 years of heritage, operating as part of a wider privately owned group of 12-13 industrial companies across the UK and Europe.

- Degree or HND in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related discipline
- Proven background in production or manufacturing engineering
- Hands-on experience improving production line efficiency and specifying new manufacturing processes
- Practical, factory-floor approach alongside the ability to operate at management level
- Strong project management capability - comfortable managing multiple concurrent workstreams
- Excellent communication skills - able to engage at board level and with shop floor teams
- Commercially aware, with experience contributing to capex planning and supplier negotiations
- Desirable:
- Experience in timber processing, agricultural machinery, FMCG, food manufacturing, or a similar process-driven environment
- Lean, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement qualification
- Experience in a growing SME or turnaround environment
What Is On Offer
- Salary up to £45,000 per annum
- Management-level position with genuine influence from day one
