Job Description

About Us

WeNext has spent more than a decade perfecting advanced manufacturing in Asia. We have now brought that proven expertise to Europe and the UK, merging innovative technology with a deep commitment to in-house care and precision craftsmanship.


We operate on a simple value: Smart manufacturing, human thinking. We combine intelligent technology with real empathy, using data to drive smarter solutions without ever losing the personal connection. We are proudly global, yet locally connected--bridging cultures and time zones to create seamless global collaboration

The Opportunity

We are looking for a technical bridge-builder. This role sits at the operational heart of our business, connecting our global production capabilities with our European expansion.


You won't just be managing spreadsheets; you will be building our supply chain ecosystem from the ground up. You will act as the technical voice for our Sheet Metal and CNC capabilities, ensuring that when a customer sends a complex drawing, we have the right partners, the right processes, and the right quality standards to deliver it perfectly.

Your Key Responsibilities

1. Supply Chain Ecosystem

Build the Network

: Identify, onboard, and audit manufacturing partners outside of China (UK, EU, India), specifically focusing on high-quality Sheet Metal and CNC fabrication.

Partnership, Not Just Procurement

: Move beyond transactional management. Establish performance KPIs (OTIF, Quality Rates) but drive them through relationships and continuous improvement, not just policing.

Strategic Sourcing:

Analyse cost and capacity data to build a resilient supply chain that can scale with our rapid European growth.

2. Technical Engineering Support

The Sheet Metal Expert

: Act as the internal authority for sheet metal pre-sales. You will review CAD files and drawings to assess feasibility, ensuring we only promise what we can deliver.

DFM with Empathy:

Provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback that helps the sales team and the customer understand how to optimise their parts for cost and quality.

Problem Solver:

Investigate quality issues (NCRs) not just to fix the error, but to understand the root cause--liaising between European clients and Global factories to close the gap.

3. Operational Architecture

Process Design:

We are growing fast. You will design and document the workflows for vendor onboarding, quality control, and quoting--turning ad-hoc tasks into scalable processes.

Internal Capability:

Work with our Operations Director and China HQ to support the build-out of our own internal production facilities, ensuring European standards are baked into our global factories.

Project Delivery:

manage the rollout of new operational programs, keeping Europe and China aligned on timelines and deliverables.

Requirements

The Hybrid Skillset:

You are rare--you understand Supply Chain logistics and you can read a technical engineering drawing.

Experience:

3-7 years in manufacturing operations, applications engineering, or supply chain management.

Technical Core:

Strong working knowledge of Sheet Metal fabrication and CNC processes is essential. You must be comfortable interpreting BoMs, tolerances, and material grades.

The Mindset:

A builder who loves structure. You are comfortable working in a multi-time-zone environment where you often have to create the process before you execute it.

The Communicator:

You can explain complex engineering constraints to a salesperson, and commercial targets to an engineer.

Benefits

Build It Your Way:

This is a "blank canvas" role. You will shape the entire external supply chain for a fast-growing European platform.

Global Impact:

Work directly with senior leadership in Europe and China, bridging the gap between two manufacturing powerhouses. *

Comprehensive Package:

60,000 Salary, 25 Days Holiday, Pension, and full support for business travel and remote office setup
