Proven leadership experience in Operations, Manufacturing, Sustaining, Reliability or Product Engineering within a quality‑critical industry (e.g., MedTech, Automotive, Aerospace, Defence).
Demonstrated experience managing Engineering investigations, change control, supplier technical engagement, and manufacturing process improvement.
Strong capability in structured problem‑solving methods (RCCA, 8D, 5‑Whys, FMEA, DOE).
Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and decision‑making skills.
Experience working with complex electro‑mechanical, optical, electronic, or software‑enabled products.

Experience leading Engineering teams in quality-critical manufacturing environments.
Skilled in prioritising Engineering work based on business needs, operational risk, and strategic impact.
Demonstrated capability in coaching Engineers in structured problem-solving and decision-making.
Experience leading change initiatives across processes and business systems.
