ABOUT VULCAN OFFSHORE
We're a precision manufacturing and engineering company based in Eastleigh, near Southampton. We design and build products used within the Subsea Geotechnical and Geophysical sectors by fabrication and CNC-machining.

We're a close-knit team that takes real pride in the work that leaves our shop floor.
As our Production Engineer, you'll be the vital link between design and the shop floor — turning engineering drawings into efficient, repeatable manufacturing processes. You'll optimise how we order materials through BOM creation, fabricate by assisting with jigs and tooling, and assembly by ensuring processes and documentation is in place.
This is a hands-on role for someone who's as comfortable at a PC solving a process problem as they are completing assembly and production tasks, working it through with the team.

- Work closely with our design engineers to ensure new products have all the relevant manufacturing information entered into the ERP system
- Assist QA/QC tasks for root-cause analysis and drive continuous-improvement.
- Maintain and improve quality within our ISO 9001 framework
- Support production planning, estimating, and capacity
- Hands-on experience in a Production Engineer role is the most important, supported by HNC, HND or a degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering (or similar), or equivalent years experience.
- Strong working knowledge of CNC machining and/or welded fabrication
- Confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings and GD&T
