Reporting to the Senior Production Engineer, you will be a key member of the production team, owning the detail in day-to-day operations while also stepping back to look for smarter, more sustainable ways of working.

You will join a collaborative, supportive team where your judgement and ideas are taken seriously. Safety is how we look after each other every day, not just something we talk about. In practice, that means you will be a trusted technical adviser for the production team, regularly working with frontline crews and planners to check the practicality of designs, refine schedules, and keep production moving safely and efficiently.
