Job Description
Manufacturing Support Assistant
Stockport | Permanent | £28,000 – £30,000 DOE
A well-regarded defence manufacturer in Stockport is recruiting a Manufacturing Support Assistant to join its Manufacturing Support team on a permanent basis.
This is a hands-on, varied role where you'll work closely with Manufacturing Support Engineers to help keep a fast-paced production environment running effectively. Your time will be split between creating and maintaining technical documentation, drawings and process procedures, and providing practical day-to-day support across the factory floor. You don't need to come from an engineering background — what counts most is attention to detail, a technical mindset, and the drive to get things done.
The Role
• Creating and maintaining AutoCAD drawings for cutting tools and factory layouts
• Generating and manipulating 3D models to support offline programming
• Writing and maintaining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and operator set-up documentation
• Producing set-up drawings and supporting imagery as required
• Reviewing and assisting with operator set-up procedures
• Ordering tooling for machines and operators
• Maintaining tooling and fixture drawings
• Updating routings in SAP, including operation narratives and cycle times
• Creating and maintaining project plans
Essential Requirements
• Able to read and interpret engineering drawings
• Competent across the Microsoft Office suite
• Good general computer skills
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Well organised, reliable and able to manage your own workload
Desirable Skills (full training available for the right person)
• AutoCAD for 2D drawing creation
• CAD software for 3D modelling
• SAP or ERP systems for routing creation and modification
• MS Project for project planning
• Familiarity with problem-solving methodologies
What We're Looking For
The technical skills matter, but so does the person behind them. We're looking for someone with a practical, positive approach — organised, switched-on and proactive, with the confidence to adapt when priorities shift and the initiative to spot a better way of doing things. A solid work ethic and professional attitude will take you a long way in this team.
This is a permanent, site-based position in Stockport, reporting directly to the Manufacturing Support Manager.
