You'll be part of an agile and dynamic workplace where today's solutions are built for tomorrow's challenges. In this role, the Process Engineer will be responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining manufacturing processes to increase efficiency. This role requires collaboration with cross-functional teams, including design, quality, and production teams, to ensure that manufacturing systems are effective and meet the company's production goals. Key Accountabilities Process Design and Improvement:

• Develop, evaluate, and enhance manufacturing processes with a strong emphasis on Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DFMA), ensuring ease of production and assembly efficiency.
• Conduct Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEAs) to proactively identify and mitigate risks in manufacturing processes.
• Design and implement streamlined process flows and optimized layout strategies to enhance production efficiency.
• Analyse production workflows to identify and implement standardisation initiatives and continuous improvement opportunities. Production Support:
• Develop standardized work instructions and best practices.
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations. Quality Control:
• Develop and implement robust quality control systems and standards to uphold product integrity and compliance.
• Drive the effective deployment of the 8D problem-solving methodology to conduct thorough root cause analysis of quality issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Collaborate closely with the quality assurance team to ensure all products meet customer specifications, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Manage the Non-Conformance Report (NCR) process to address defects and implement corrective and preventive action. Equipment and Tooling:
• Specify, select, and oversee the installation of new manufacturing equipment.
• Investigate new tooling and fixtures required to improve the manufacturing processes.
• Implement lean methodologies and modular build strategies to optimise manufacturing efficiency. Cost Reduction:
• Implement Lean Six Sigma to minimise waste and improve operations.
• Analyse build costs and identify cost-saving opportunities.
• Work with procurement and supply chain teams to optimise material usage and reduce waste. Documentation and Reporting:
• Develop and maintain process documentation, including work instructions, standard operating procedures, control plans, and process flow diagrams to ensure and adherence to best practices.
• Generate detailed reports on manufacturing performance, to drive data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.
• Ensure accurate and up-to-date documentation of all process modifications, changes, and improvements within BOM structure and routing system, maintaining full traceability. What We’re Looking For To thrive in this role, you should bring:
• Ability to develop and implement visual standards, SOPs, and training programs.
• Substantial experience in manufacturing engineering, process engineering, or a similar role ideally within process plant, HVAC.
• BOM generation experience preferred.
• Strong knowledge in DFMA, PFMEAs, control plans, and process standardisation.
• Extensive knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials, and trade disciplines, particularly in modular builds.
• Experience in lean manufacturing and continuous improvement in low-volume, high-value production environments.
• Skilled in structured problem-solving (8D methodology) and quality management.
• Ability to develop and implement visual standards, SOPs, and training programs.
• Strong project management, organisational, and teamwork skills.
• Proven ability to manage BOM structures, routing systems, and NCRs for continuous quality improvement. Why Armstrong Fluid Technology? By joining us, you’ll become part of a global community dedicated to pushing the boundaries of fluid-flow technology. You’ll have endless opportunities to learn, grow, and make a significant impact on the world. Together, we'll build tomorrow’s solutions today.
