Careers at MV Manufacturing

Join our precision engineering team in Peterborough. Reverse engineering leads our work, supported by manufacturing and inspection. If you are curious about how parts work and want to learn how to make them better, explore our Apprentice Engineer role.

Our lead service

Reverse Engineering

Start with a worn, failed or discontinued part. We reconstruct the design and agree improvements before manufacture.

Capture the geometry

3D Scanning

Digital surface capture to support CAD reconstruction and the wider reverse engineering job.

Complex geometry

5-Axis CNC Machining

Machine angled features and complex surfaces, with the set-up planned around the critical relationships.

Prototype to production

CNC Milling

Milled housings, brackets and precision components in metals and engineering plastics.

Rotational components

CNC Turning

Stepped shafts, threaded fittings and housings, made to drawing or reverse engineered from a sample.

Prove the design

3D Printing

Bring us the application. Our engineers recommend the material and approach for your prototype or part.

Cut, fold and form

Sheet Metal

Brackets, panels and enclosures, developed around the bends, interfaces and finished assembly.

Repeat production

Plastic Injection Moulding

Moulded plastic components, with material, tool design and production requirements considered together.

Detailed metal parts

Metal Injection Moulding

Small, complex metal components where geometry and quantity suit moulding and sintering.

Cast to shape

Aluminium Die Casting

Aluminium housings and components, with casting geometry and any secondary machining planned together.

Your profile, repeated

Aluminium Extrusions

Custom sections developed for the application, then cut, machined and finished as required.

Ready to fit

Assembly

Manufactured and bought-in components brought together, with the interfaces and checks agreed first.

Joined with care

Welding

Welded components and fabrications, planned around material, joint access and distortion control.

Who are we?

MV Manufacturing is a precision engineering business based in Peterborough. Our team takes worn, failed or obsolete components from assessment and CAD reconstruction through to manufacturing and inspection. Reverse engineering sits at the centre of that work. We understand what went wrong, agree how the design can improve and make a replacement that is better than the original.

Varied work

You move across CNC machining, inspection and reverse engineering rather than repeating the same job every day. The work stays interesting and your skills keep widening.

Learn from the standard

Learn from experienced colleagues who explain the reasoning behind each decision. From understanding a drawing to checking a finished part, careful work and clear standards guide the team.

Real responsibility

Your contribution matters. As your skills develop, you take on more responsibility with support from the team and see how each task contributes to the finished part.

A growing team

We are building a precision workshop in Peterborough. Joining now means helping shape how the team works as it grows.

Apprentice Engineer

Start your engineering career with our Peterborough team. As an Apprentice Engineer, you will learn how we reverse engineer parts, interpret drawings and support manufacturing and inspection. You will develop practical skills with guidance from experienced colleagues, building your understanding of how a component works and what makes it fit for use.

Understand the part

Learn to interpret drawings, CAD models and physical samples with the team, starting with what the finished component needs to do.

Machine to spec

Learn how the team prepares tooling, sets up machining jobs and checks the process. Build practical skills under supervision as your experience develops.

Inspect and prove

Learn how dimensions and surface finish are checked against a specification, and why accurate inspection records matter.

Reverse engineer

Support the team as we assess worn or obsolete parts, rebuild their geometry and work towards replacements that are better than the original.

Skills you’ll need

You do not need to arrive as an experienced machinist. We look for curiosity about how things work, care with practical tasks and a willingness to learn. You should be comfortable asking questions, following instructions and working with others. Tell us about any engineering study, practical projects or relevant experience, and what you would like to develop.

Application process

Send your details

Contact our team about the Apprentice Engineer role. Tell us about your studies, practical interests and any experience, and why you want to start a career in engineering. We will explain the next steps and how to send your CV.

A conversation

If it looks like a fit, you will talk with Miguel and the team. We want to understand how you think about parts, process and quality.

See the work

We show you real parts and how MV actually works, from a drawing or sample through to a finished, inspected component. You get a clear picture of the day to day.

Offer and start

If it is right on both sides, we make an offer and agree a start date. From there you join the team and get stuck into live work.
