Process Engineer

Company: Connected Engineering
Apply for the Process Engineer
Location: Barnsley
Job Description:

Are you a Process Engineer who enjoys challenging the status quo and driving real change on the shop floor?

Connected Engineering is working with a superb manufacturing business that’s investing heavily in automation, capital projects, and continuous improvement, and they’re looking for someone to play a key role in that journey.

This isn’t a “keep things ticking” role. It’s an opportunity to get stuck into meaningful projects, influence how things are done, and develop quickly within a growing engineering team.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Driving process improvements across a busy manufacturing site
  • Supporting capital projects (equipment upgrades, automation, new tech)
  • Analysing performance using OEE and production data
  • Mapping and improving processes (value stream mapping, waste reduction)
  • Working closely with engineering, production, and quality teams
  • Getting involved in automation, CNC, robotics and modern manufacturing tech
  • Solving real problems on the shop floor and implementing practical solutions

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in a manufacturing environment (regulated preferred)
  • Exposure to continuous improvement (Lean / Six Sigma)
  • Strong analytical mindset, someone who asks “why?”
  • Interest in automation, process optimisation, and engineering improvement
  • Background in precision engineering or component manufacturing (ideal, not essential)

Why This Role?

  • Be part of a team that genuinely values ideas and initiative
  • Work on real capital investment projects, not just small tweaks
  • Join a business where attitude and potential matter more than years of experience
  • Clear opportunity to develop into a more senior engineering role

Details

  • £45k to £50k (DOE)
  • Bonus
  • 26 days +BH
  • Health Care Plan
  • Permanent, Monday to Friday (37.5 hours)
