Manufacturing Engineer - Graduate Programme 2025
Salary: £31,000 plus £3,000 joining bonus
Location: Bolton
Working pattern:
Due to the nature of manufacturing you will be predominantly based on-site, with opportunities to do some work remotely.
Security clearance: British Citizen or a Dual UK national with British citizenship.
Restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may apply. As a minimum and after offer stage, all successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS), which are managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team.
Closing date for this role is midnight on Monday 4th November
The opportunity:
Manufacturing Engineering is part of the Operations directorate based at our Manufacturing Centre of Excellence. Manufacturing consists of Assembly, Integration and Test of all our products for the company. The products we make are delivered directly to the customer/end user and therefore Manufacturing are vitally important to the delivery aspects of MBDA's business.
Manufacturing Engineers work closely with design to influence the producibility of designs. They are also responsible for the ‘how' we build our products including being responsible for:
Any tooling required to build our products
Instructions on how to build our products
The cost of manufacture of our products
The industrial validations of our production lines and our suppliers
Day-to-day support of our operators building our products
The architecture of the production lines
Developing new manufacturing processes
Each day for a Manufacturing Engineer is different, it is a mix of time spent on the shop floor and office based working. There are also opportunities to travel to other MBDA sites and countries, plus visiting suppliers. As part of dynamic working there may be opportunities to do some work remotely, however due to the nature of the job, there will always be a requirement to work on site some of the time.
In Manufacturing, you are also able to not only see but also be part of the realisation of our products.
What we're looking for from you:
Degree qualified in Physics or Maths or various Engineering degrees (Aerospace, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Systems, Electrical/Electronic and General).
An ‘Engineering Mind-set'. This is the ability to take technical information and turn it into something that can be used in building our products, the ability to find improvements and cost saving in the production of our products, the problem solving when something needs fixing.
Training in the use of tools will be provided, as necessary, but previous use of tools such as Simul8, MRP tools (SAP), Engineering Drawing tools (Creo), Configuration Control would be an advantage
