Support New Product Introduction activities, ensuring products are successfully industrialised and transferred into production.

Work collaboratively with Production, Quality, Planning, and Technical functions to deliver operational objectives and improve value stream performance.

Participate in daily operational reviews and provide timely engineering support to resolve manufacturing issues and minimise disruption.

Promote and maintain a strong safety culture, ensuring hazards are identified, risks assessed, and all activities conducted in accordance with site health, safety, and environmental requirements.

Support the achievement of operational targets relating to productivity, quality, scrap reduction, on-time delivery, and overall equipment effectiveness.

Your ideal background:
