Provide coaching and training to engineering and production colleagues, building capability and assisting long-term team development
Carry out additional tasks in line with the role, assisting wider business needs as required
Work across a fast-paced manufacturing environment, prioritising engineering barriers across multiple production facilities
Guide root cause investigations using methods such as Root Cause Analysis, Five Whys, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis to deliver lasting corrective and preventive actions
Assist major breakdowns and technical issues, driving rapid fault resolution and reducing downtime
Partner with engineering and operational teams to improve reliability, performance, and continuous improvement
