To be responsible for producing work instructions and technical documents during the design phase, to assist the Designer to produce drawings and parts lists on time, and parts to be delivered into the Cell, to enable the Cell to produce on time products.

Production Engineer Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities:

1. To enable the cell to produce products within the Cell, according to the requirements of the Company, using the Master Operational Plan (MOP) or project schedule, and to ensure these products meet the required quality level and are produced within the time allowance.

2. Up to date work instructions, drawings and parts lists
3. Adequate process information
4. Sufficient tooling
5. Sufficient parts and materials to meet output targets
6. Timely and relevant engineering support
7. Realistic cost targets which are compatible with product margin objectives.
8. Up to date Health and Safety information and equipment.

To identify tooling and process changes which may be necessary to enable the Cell to achieve its cost, improvement and quality targets. All of the above will require you to liaise with and co-ordinate activities with Design & Purchasing functions within the business, and to work closely with the Cell Leader, Supervisors and Managers.

Communication:

Work instructions and test documents will be written by the engineering group, which could be Project Engineer or Production Engineer. Drawings will be produced by a Design Draughtsperson; sometimes the Production Engineer will be responsible for producing drawings or sketches, particularly for tooling or items required quickly on a project.

Technical:

Being fully competent in all methods & measurements of processes within your Cell you will provide support, as required, to all personnel on technical issues that relate to the activities within the Cell. As an Engineer, you will be frequently asked to provide support for other areas of the Company, and this will mean you will report functionally (i.e. on a day-to-day basis) to the relevant manager from this other area of the Company. He/she will measure the success of the delivery of this support as it will be used to measure your performance, in addition to the measurements of your performance by the Unit Supervisor or Manager responsible for the Cell.

• To provide accurate and timely cost information, e.g. process times, materials spend.

People Management:

• To carry out staff training in key processes and engineering techniques as well as health and safety procedures to ensure the people within the Cell can correctly and safely execute the requirements of the MOP in terms of methods, quality and time.
