3What this role really is

A Head of Production Engineering improves factory production lines, cutting waste and fixing bottlenecks. You look at a production line, spot the bottlenecks, and work out how to fix them. The work involves data analysis, equipment troubleshooting, and getting people to adopt better ways of working. You own specific processes, making sure they hit their targets day in, day out, and you are the first point of contact when things go wrong.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

ERP/MRP (SAP S/4HANA, Oracle NetSuite) Intermediate

Pulling Bill of Materials (BOMs), checking inventory levels for components, tracking work orders, and verifying routing data for production runs. You'll use it every day to understand what we need to make and how.

MES (AVEVA MES, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Plex) Expert

Monitoring line status in real-time, recording downtime events accurately, executing work orders, and extracting data for OEE and quality analysis. You'll be configuring workflows and building dashboards.

PLC Software (Rockwell Studio 5000, Siemens TIA Portal) Advanced

Connecting to PLCs, monitoring logic online for troubleshooting, identifying I/O faults, and making minor logic modifications (e.g., adjusting timer presets) to optimise machine behaviour. You'll be comfortable diving into the code.

CAD Software (SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor) Advanced

Designing and modelling new jigs, fixtures, and simple machine components for process improvements. You'll also use it to view and measure 3D models and 2D drawings to verify tooling designs.

Statistical/BI (Minitab, Power BI) Expert

Conducting complex statistical analysis (e.g., Design of Experiments - DOE) in Minitab to optimise processes. You'll also be building and publishing new Power BI data models and reports for operational insights.

Planning/GRC (Anaplan, ServiceNow) Basic

Providing data inputs for capacity models in Anaplan, and logging major incidents or change requests in ServiceNow. You'll use these to ensure our planning and compliance processes are robust.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Process Parameter Adjustments Propose adjustments to supervisor; execute under direct guidance. Independently adjust parameters within defined limits; consult manager for significant deviations. Define and approve parameter limits; mentor others on optimal settings.
Tooling/Fixture Design & Procurement Assist with design sketches; raise purchase requests for approved items. Design simple jigs/fixtures using CAD; propose vendors and procure items up to £1,000 without direct approval (within budget). Design complex tooling; approve vendors and procure items up to £5,000; manage tooling budget.
Production Downtime Resolution Follow documented troubleshooting steps; escalate to supervisor if unresolved. Lead troubleshooting efforts for recurring issues; make on-the-spot decisions to restore production (e.g., temporary workarounds) while escalating root cause for permanent fix. Lead multi-disciplinary teams to resolve critical downtime events; authorise immediate expenditure for emergency repairs up to £2,000.
SOP and Work Instruction Updates Suggest minor edits to existing documents; update under supervisor review. Independently update and publish SOPs for owned processes, ensuring accuracy and clarity; seek peer review for major changes. Establish standards for SOP creation; approve all SOPs for a production line; train junior engineers on documentation best practices.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) for Assigned Cell
This is a big one. It's about how well your specific production area is running, considering availability, performance, and quality.
Target · Improve OEE by 5-8% within your assigned production cell over 12 months.

If your cell's OEE is currently 65%, we'd expect to see it consistently above 70% after your initial improvements. For instance, reducing changeover time on Machine A from 45 to 30 minutes would directly boost performance.

Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) for Key Equipment
How quickly we get a machine back up and running after a breakdown. Lower is better, obviously.
Target · Reduce MTTR on your assigned critical equipment by 10-15% quarter-over-quarter.

If the average repair time for the packaging machine is 2 hours, you'd be looking to get that down to around 1 hour 45 minutes by optimising troubleshooting guides or spare parts availability.

Scrap and Rework Reduction
The amount of material wasted or products that need fixing because of process issues. This directly hits our bottom line.
Target · Decrease scrap rate by 0.5-1.0 percentage points and rework hours by 10% within your assigned processes.

If a process currently produces 3% scrap, you'd aim to get that down to 2-2.5%. This might involve optimising a welding parameter or implementing a Poka-Yoke device.

Accuracy of Bill of Materials (BOM) and Routing Data
Making sure the recipes and process steps in our ERP system are absolutely correct. Wrong data causes chaos.
Target · Maintain 99.5% accuracy on all BOMs and routings for your owned processes.

Catching a missing component in a BOM before a production run starts, or correcting an outdated machine speed in a routing, preventing a batch of product from being made incorrectly.

Problem-Solving Effectiveness
It's not just about fixing problems, but *how* you fix them. Are you getting to the root cause, or just putting a plaster on it?
  • You'll consistently use structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA) methods like 5 Whys or Fishbone diagrams. Your solutions will actually prevent recurrence. We'll see fewer repeat issues on your processes, and your incident reports will be thorough and insightful.
Process Documentation Quality
Are your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) clear, up-to-date, and actually useful for operators? 'Tribal knowledge' is a big no-no here.
  • SOPs for your processes are easy to follow, regularly reviewed, and reflect current best practices. New operators can pick them up and run the process with minimal additional instruction. You'll get positive feedback from the production team on the clarity of your documentation.
Collaboration with Production Teams
You can't improve things from a desk. You need to be on the shop floor, working with the people who do the job every day.
  • Production Supervisors and operators will actively seek your input and trust your judgment. You'll be seen as a helpful partner, not just someone telling them what to do. You're regularly doing Gemba walks and involving the team in Kaizen events.
Proactive Improvement Identification
Are you just reacting to fires, or are you spotting potential issues and opportunities before they become problems?
  • You'll regularly propose and lead small improvement projects, even if they're not 'urgent'. You'll present data-backed ideas for efficiency gains or quality enhancements that haven't been explicitly requested by management. You're always looking for the next thing to optimise.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Tangible Problems

You get a real kick out of fixing something that's broken or making an inefficient process run smoothly. The satisfaction comes from seeing a direct, measurable improvement on the shop floor.

Spending a morning troubleshooting a recurring machine fault, identifying the root cause, and implementing a simple adjustment that stops it happening again. That's a good day for you.

Continuous Improvement

You're never truly satisfied with 'good enough'. You're always looking for ways to tweak, optimise, and refine processes, even when they're already performing reasonably well. The idea of 'better' drives you.

Even after hitting an OEE target, you'll be looking at the next biggest loss category, perhaps focusing on reducing minor stops or improving first-pass yield, just because you know it can be better.

Hands-On Technical Work

You enjoy getting your hands dirty, whether it's diving into PLC logic, analysing sensor data, or sketching out a new fixture design. You're not afraid of the factory environment and prefer practical application over purely theoretical work.

You'll be happiest when you're on the line, observing a process, talking to operators, and then heading back to your desk to analyse data or design a solution, rather than just sitting in meetings all day.

What frustrates people
  • The 'temporary' fix that became permanent and is now a critical bottleneck.
  • Spending weeks on a solid CapEx proposal only for it to be deprioritised or rejected.
  • Operators reverting to old, inefficient methods despite clear, new processes.
  • Being the ultimate escalation point for production issues, regardless of the time.
  • Inheriting a 'black box' process with zero documentation and critical knowledge held by one person.
  • Sales promising a 'small tweak' for a new product that actually requires a complete line overhaul.
  • Trying to make data-driven decisions when the source data is incomplete or inaccurate.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely strategic, high-level role; you'll be hands-on, on the shop floor.
  • Predictable 9-5 hours; urgent production issues don't respect the clock.
  • A clean, quiet, and consistently calm work environment; factories are noisy and dynamic.
  • Guaranteed immediate implementation of every improvement idea; budget, priorities, and people can slow things down.

8Who you work with

This role directly affects our operational efficiency, product quality, and ultimately, our ability to deliver on customer orders. Your improvements mean lower costs, faster production, and a more reliable product. Get it wrong, and we're looking at missed deadlines, increased waste, and potentially losing business.

Inside the business
  • Production Supervisors and Team Leaders (your closest allies)
  • Maintenance Engineers (for equipment reliability)
  • Quality Assurance (to ensure standards are met)
  • Supply Chain Planners (for material flow and scheduling)
  • Product Development (when new products hit the line)
Outside the business
  • Equipment Vendors (for support and upgrades)
  • Tooling Suppliers (for jigs and fixtures)
  • External Auditors (for process compliance, occasionally)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven experience (2-5 years) in a manufacturing or production engineering role, ideally in a fast-paced industrial environment.
  • Demonstrable experience leading and delivering process improvement projects from conception to completion.
  • A strong grasp of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles, with practical application experience.
  • Proficiency in at least one CAD software package (e.g., SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor) for designing fixtures or components.
  • Solid data analysis skills, including statistical methods, and experience with tools like Minitab or Power BI.
  • The ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams).

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of your time as a Production Engineer is spent on repetitive tasks, digging through data, or writing up reports. What if you could get a significant chunk of that time back? Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to do just that, giving you more time to focus on the truly complex problems and hands-on improvements.

Imagine having a smart assistant that helps you predict machine failures, diagnose root causes faster, scout for new technologies, and even draft your incident reports. That's not science fiction; it's what our Production Engineers are already doing. We're investing in tools and training to help you work smarter, not just harder.

Predictive Maintenance Automation

AI models analyse real-time sensor data (like vibration, temperature, or acoustics) from our critical machinery. It'll predict component failures before they happen and automatically generate a work order in our CMMS. This means fewer unexpected breakdowns and more planned, efficient maintenance.

Anomaly Detection & Root Cause Analysis

Our AI continuously monitors thousands of process parameters, flagging subtle deviations and correlations that are often invisible to the human eye. These usually precede a quality issue or breakdown. It can even suggest probable root causes based on historical data, slashing your problem-solving time from days to hours.

Technology & Supplier Scouting

Use an AI research assistant to quickly scan technical journals, patent databases, and supplier websites. You'll find emerging automation technologies (like new collaborative robots or advanced vision systems) that fit our specific process needs, condensing weeks of manual research into a few hours of targeted review.

SOP & Incident Report Generation

After an incident, you can feed your technical notes, logs, and resolution steps into an AI writer. It'll instantly generate a structured, clear Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or a formal incident report for management and compliance. This reduces documentation time by 75%, letting you focus on implementing corrective actions.
