The Client is a precision manufacturer based in Greater Manchester, specialising in mould tooling for a range of industrial customers. The business has invested in CNC technology and CAD/CAM systems but continues to rely heavily on manual and paper-based workflows, particularly in job tracking, scheduling, and production reporting. Orders are currently handwritten, and there is no real-time visibility of work in progress. This project will support the Client's journey towards digital maturity by introducing visual management tools and digitising core manual processes to improve efficiency, traceability, and decision-making. To apply, please email: email madesmarterinternships@growthco.uk quoting the reference number 8631

📢 Digital Internship Opportunity: Help Digitise a Traditional Manufacturing Workflow Are you interested in modernising real-world manufacturing processes? Join a precision engineering company in Greater Manchester on their journey to ditch paper-based systems and adopt smarter, digital ways of working. 🛠️ What you’ll be working on: You’ll lead a hands-on project to replace handwritten job sheets and production logs with simple digital tools. The goal is to improve how jobs are tracked, managed, and communicated across the factory floor – boosting efficiency and visibility. 🔍 Key tasks include: Mapping current paper-based workflows with the team Creating user-friendly digital forms and visual dashboards Trialling and refining these tools with real staff feedback Training staff and supporting the wider rollout 🧩 Skills you’ll need: Confident using Excel, Google Sheets, or tools like Power BI Comfortable communicating with both office and shop floor teams Curious, practical, and able to learn from hands-on testing (Bonus) Familiar with low-code platforms or barcode tools 🚀 Why it matters: Your work will reduce admin time, improve communication, and make production more transparent — leaving behind real tools the business will keep using. Perfect for someone who wants to see the real-world impact of digital innovation.

The client is a well-established manufacturer based in Royton, Oldham, specialising in the production of plastic goods such as traffic cones. While the company has already invested in automated moulding machinery, several downstream processes – including painting, sticker application, and palletising – remain manual. To continue its digital transformation journey, the company is exploring full production line automation, aiming to increase output, reduce waste, and minimise manual handling. This internship will play a pivotal role in laying the technical and strategic groundwork for that vision.

A leading North West manufacturer of plastic products is seeking a proactive intern to support their next step in factory automation. This is a hands-on opportunity to make a real difference in streamlining production and reducing manual processes. You’ll investigate automating painting, labelling, and palletising operations. Working closely with a small internal team, you’ll simulate automation concepts, run cost-benefit analyses, and help shape a roadmap for future investment in smart manufacturing. You’ll be: Researching and recommending practical robotic automation solutions Building simulations to assess productivity and feasibility Producing cost and benefit breakdowns for each key task Preparing a strategic recommendation for future implementation What you’ll need: An interest or background in robotics, automation, or digital manufacturing Strong research and analysis skills Familiarity with simulation or modelling tools Great communication skills to work with technical and operational teams. This project will help a growing UK manufacturer reduce waste, boost productivity, and stay competitive – delivering real value through smart innovation.
