Lead Manufacturing Simulation EngineerContract | Onsite | GaydonContract Details£37 per hour - Inside IR356-month or 12-month contract availableImmediate start requiredOnsite role - GaydonRole OverviewWe're looking for a Manufacturing Simulation Engineer to lead the development of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models for manufacturing systems. You'll analyse production flow, identify bottlenecks, optimise throughput, and support major vehicle or system programmes from concept through to delivery. Key ResponsibilitiesBuild, develop, and deliver Discrete Event Simulation models that represent full manufacturing process flow from concept to launch. Analyse production performance, throughput, cycle time, buffer sizes, and system availability. Identify bottlenecks and provide recommendations to improve system efficiency. Optimise manufacturing systems using DES 'what-if' scenarios and operational variants.Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, production, and scheduling teams to ensure system readiness. Produce clear documentation, dashboards, and reports to support decision-making. Mentor junior engineers and support ongoing improvement of simulation tools and techniques. Key Skills & ExperienceStrong hands-on experience with Discrete Event Simulation tools (e.g., Lanner Witness or Siemens Plant Simulation). Proven background in modelling production flows and solving complex system performance issues. Experience delivering DES models to programme KPIs and production targets. Understanding of lean manufacturing tools and techniques. Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex ideas clearly. Comfortable working in fast-paced manufacturing environments. Who This Role SuitsThis role is ideal for someone who enjoys:Turning complex manufacturing systems into accurate digital simulationsSolving efficiency and throughput challengesWorking closely with engineering and production teamsLeading simulation workstreams and driving system improvements JBRP1_UKTJ
