Join Us as a Technical Shopfloor Engineer

We’re excited to be partnering with Airbus to recruit a proactive and collaborative Technical Shopfloor Engineer. This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineering professional who thrives in a fast-paced production environment and enjoys solving technical challenges directly on the shopfloor.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in enabling smooth production, supporting operational excellence, and ensuring product quality and safety. If you’re passionate about manufacturing engineering and enjoy being hands-on with production teams, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Technical Shopfloor Engineer, you will:

  • Work closely with the Production and Autonomous Production Teams (APT) to support daily operations.
  • Identify, investigate, and resolve technical issues that cannot be addressed at operator or first-line level.
  • Provide an end-to-end perspective on production processes at shopfloor level.
  • Support continuous production enablement by effectively using available resources and technical knowledge.
  • Contribute to Airbus’ operational excellence goals by championing continuous improvement activities.
  • Assist with identifying non-conformances and support reduction initiatives.
  • Promote a culture of customer focus, safety, and high-quality standards across all shopfloor activities.

What You’ll Bring

We welcome applications from people with varied backgrounds, and we value experience just as much as qualifications.

You’ll ideally have:

  • Experience working in a manufacturing, aviation, production, or lineside engineering environment.
  • Strong manufacturing engineering experience (essential).
  • Experience working within regulatory or compliance-driven environments.
  • Solid project management and communication skills.
  • A proactive, adaptable, and autonomous approach to problem-solving.
  • A commitment to product safety and quality assurance.
  • HNC or equivalent technical qualification (desirable but not essential).

Shift & Pay Information

  • Double day shifts (Monday-Friday):

    • 06:00-13:10 (week 1)
    • 13:30-20:40 (week 2)
  • Pay Rates:

    • £26.92 per hour PAYE
    • £36.00 per hour Umbrella
  • Uplifts:

    • 20% shift uplift
    • Paid overtime after 35 hours (25% Mon-Fri, 50% Sat-Sun)

Why Join Us?

When you join Guidant Global, you’re supported by a team that puts people first. You’ll benefit from:

  • A transparent and supportive recruitment process.
  • Access to exciting long-term opportunities within Airbus.
  • A dedicated contact to support you throughout your contract.
  • A role where you can genuinely add value and contribute to continuous improvement.
