Summary
Production Engineer – Electromechanical Manufacturing (Access Control Systems)
Location: Wimborne, Dorset
Employment Type: Full-time
Salary: £35,000 – £50,000 (DOE) + benefits
Are you a hands-on Production Engineer with a knack for improving manufacturing processes and a passion for innovation? We’re working with a well-established manufacturer of electromechanical systems, based in Wimborne, who are looking for a proactive engineer to help elevate their production performance to the next level.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking SME environment, where your ideas for continuous improvement and process optimisation won’t just be heard – they’ll shape how the company grows.
What You’ll Be Doing
As part of a small but highly skilled technical team, you’ll:
- Develop and refine manufacturing processes for precision electromechanical assemblies (including magnetic locking systems)
- Identify bottlenecks, implement process improvements, and create clear SOPs and work instructions
- Drive quality and compliance initiatives in line with ISO 9001 standards
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective action projects to improve reliability and reduce defects
- Support tooling, jigs, and semi-automation projects – from design to commissioning
- Collaborate across design, production, and supplier teams to ensure seamless operations
- Track and analyse key metrics such as yield, cycle time, and scrap rate using data-driven tools (SPC, Six Sigma, etc.)
About You
We’re keen to speak with engineers who:
- Hold an HND or higher in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or have equivalent hands-on experience)
- Bring 3+ years’ experience in a manufacturing or process engineering role, ideally within electromechanical or assembly environments
- Are confident with CAD software (AutoCAD, Fusion 360 preferred)
- Have a practical understanding of Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement tools
- Thrive in an SME or low-volume/high-mix environment
- Are naturally curious, proactive, and keen to take ownership of production challenges
Why Apply?
This role offers the autonomy to make a real impact in a close-knit, supportive environment. It’s ideal for someone looking to:
- Take on more process ownership and responsibility
- Drive automation and efficiency projects
- Develop toward a senior or leadership role within a growing, innovative business
- Enjoy the balance of hands-on engineering and analytical process work
If you’re a Production Engineer based in Dorset who’s ready to step into a role where your technical input will genuinely shape how things are made – we’d love to hear from you.
