Manufacturing Engineer (Metals)

About the Role

A well-established advanced manufacturing organisation is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with strong TIG welding experience to support welding processes within a high-mix precision manufacturing environment.

This role focuses on developing, improving, and supporting GTAW (TIG) and orbital welding processes used in stainless steel tubing assemblies and precision components. The position works closely with Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to ensure welding operations are robust, repeatable, and suitable for scaled manufacturing.

This is an excellent opportunity for a manufacturing or process engineer who has hands-on TIG welding experience and wants to take ownership of welding-related production processes, while remaining embedded in a broader manufacturing engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the implementation and optimisation of GTAW (TIG) and orbital welding processes within production

• Assist with development and documentation of welding procedures and work instructions

• Work with design and manufacturing teams to improve weld joint design, fixturing, and manufacturability

• Troubleshoot welding issues on the production floor and support root-cause analysis and corrective actions

• Help establish consistent weld process parameters and quality standards

• Provide hands-on support to production teams including operator training and process guidance

• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to increase yield, reduce defects, and improve throughput

• Support introduction of new welding equipment, fixtures, and manufacturing processes

• Assist with process qualification, documentation, and internal or customer audits where required

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline preferred

• 3–7+ years of experience in a manufacturing or process engineering role involving TIG (GTAW) welding

• Hands-on experience supporting or working with TIG welding in a production environment

• Exposure to orbital welding processes is strongly preferred

• Experience working with stainless steel tubing or precision welded components is beneficial

• Familiarity with welding standards such as AWS or ASME codes is helpful but not required at an expert level

• Experience troubleshooting manufacturing processes and supporting production teams

• Basic understanding of metallurgy, distortion control, and fixturing concepts

• Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD tools

• Exposure to automation, PLCs, or welding system controls is a plus

• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma practices preferred

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering and production teams
