Tooling Applications Engineer - CNC - Manufacturing

Tooling Applications Engineer CNC - Manufacturing Location: Dagenham, Essex Salary: Up to £50,000 per annum, dependent on experience This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC or machining professional who wants to use their technical knowledge away from a purely machine-based role and develop into tooling applications, process optimisation and continuous improvement. Previous experience as a Tooling Applications Engineer is not essential. This is a specialist position and comprehensive training will be provided. The Role Working closely with CNC machining, production and supply management teams, you will analyse how cutting and abrasive tooling performs within the manufacturing process. Rather than operating the machinery yourself, you will use your machining knowledge to investigate questions such as: How long are cutting tools lasting? Why are particular tools wearing prematurely? Could an alternative tool or specification perform better? Can tool life be increased? Can machine downtime be reduced? Can productivity or component quality be improved? What is the true cost per component? Could a more expensive tool actually deliver a lower overall manufacturing cost? You will help plan and document controlled tooling trials, analyse the results and make technical recommendations based on performance, quality, productivity and cost.
