Contact: Emily or Sammy, Pearson Whiffin Recruitment
We’re working with a highly regarded and expanding manufacturing business in Kent that plays a key role within a complex, precision-led industry. They are looking to appoint a Continuous Improvement Engineer to drive real, measurable change across operations.
This is a genuinely impactful role where you’ll have the autonomy to influence how things are done, working closely with leadership and shop-floor teams to embed best practice and improve performance across the board.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of continuous improvement activity across the site, championing lean methodologies and driving a culture of operational excellence.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading CI and Lean initiatives across multiple departments
* Facilitating Kaizen activities and value stream mapping
* Driving root cause analysis using structured problem-solving tools
* Implementing and sustaining 5S, standard work, and visual management
* Analysing data, tracking KPIs and identifying improvement opportunities
* Working closely with engineering, quality and operations teams
* Supporting hands-on improvements on the shop floor
* Embedding a proactive, solutions-focused culture
About You
We’re looking for someone who can influence, engage and deliver change, not just talk about it.
You will ideally have:
* Experience within a manufacturing or engineering environment
* Strong knowledge of Lean / Continuous Improvement methodologies
* Experience using tools such as 5 Why, 8D, DMAIC or Six Sigma
* Confidence working cross-functionally and engaging with shop-floor teams
* Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and drive decisions
* A hands-on, pragmatic approach to problem solving
A formal Lean qualification (Green Belt/Black Belt) would be advantageous but not essential.
Why Apply?
* Opportunity to make a real impact in a business investing in improvement
* Strong backing from a wider, well-established group
* Collaborative, team-focused culture
* Clear opportunities for career progression and development
