Job Specifications

Dr. Martens is a globally recognisable and culturally influential British brand, with 65 years of rich heritage, rooted in craftsmanship. As brand custodians, we are lucky to work for a dynamic, thriving, and ethical business, with people from diverse backgrounds, who bring their true selves to work, and where anyone can grow their career.

OUR VALUES

We are guided by three core values that are at the heart of everything we do: be yourself, act courageously, and show you care. They make us who we are and inspire us to push boundaries, embrace our individuality, and stand up for what's right.

THE STORY

Our product is steeped in history, and it is our role as brand custodians to protect it. The first boot, created by Engineers, started the iconic legacy we now have, and looking to the future, engineering is key to delivering the next 60 years. We're looking to further build our capability in this space with a Graduate Engineer who will sit as part of our Global Supply Chain team reporting into Senior Engineering Manager.

Responsibilities Include

Support, maintain and improve current Global Production
Develop and deliver documentation around our current and future working practices
Implement Kaizen principles and drive efficiency and profit in Global manufacturing
Research, evaluate and develop to trial new processes and technologies
Grow capabilities of wider supplier base by sharing knowledge and techniques

THE STUFF THAT SETS YOU APART

A degree or other recognised qualification in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics or similar
Knowledge of engineering principles; knowledge of manufacturing principles would also be a bonus
Knowledge of process mapping & documentation
A keen interest in footwear manufacturing and a connection to our brand
Explore: place the consumer at the heart of strategy, decisions, and communications while analysing market trends and competition relevant to your role.
Influence: communicate difficult messages clearly and assertively, balancing data and emotion to influence, and build a collective movement toward common goals by selling a compelling vision.
