An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Technical Support Engineer to join a high‑profile aerospace manufacturing environment, providing hands‑on technical and shopfloor support within a busy production setting.


This is a role supporting aircraft manufacturing operations and requires strong manufacturing, lineside, and production engineering experience.


The Role

Working on-site within the production environment, you will provide end‑to‑end technical support to shopfloor operations, ensuring continuous production flow and resolving technical issues that cannot be managed by operators or first-line management alone.


Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing daily lineside technical support to production teams
  • Investigating and resolving non‑conformances, missing parts, concessions and outstanding work
  • Managing work orders, including out-of-cycle and rework activities
  • Supporting continuous improvement and Lean manufacturing initiatives
  • Escalating recurring issues to relevant support functions where required
  • Supporting quality, health & safety, logistics and production standards on the shopfloor
  • Assisting with tooling, jigs, industrial assets, and process improvements


Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven experience in a manufacturing or production environment (aerospace highly desirable)
  • Strong aircraft production and engineering process knowledge
  • Hands‑on lineside / shopfloor support experience
  • Practical and structured problem‑solving ability
  • Experience working with non‑conformances and production issues
  • Knowledge of Lean manufacturing principles
  • Ability to work effectively with multiple stakeholders in a fast‑paced environment
  • SAP experience is desirable


Qualifications:

  • NVQ Level 4 or equivalent


This role would suit candidates from Technical Support Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Production Engineer, or Project Engineer backgrounds who enjoy working directly on the shopfloor in a complex manufacturing environment.
