Description

As the Engineering Manager, you will lead a small but highly talented engineering team. You will be responsible for leading and driving Engineering excellence across the facility. You will be accountable for the delivery of a safe and efficient Engineering function that delivers world class manufacturing standards. You will seek out opportunities to champion and drive continuous improvement initiatives and embed them into the culture of the business. You will be part of the site leadership team.

Profile

As the Engineering Manager, you will be an inspiring leader. You will aim to maximise the potential of your team members whilst exceeding the needs and expectations of our valued customers and stakeholders.

As a result you will need to carry out your role with little supervision and be able to truly own the strategic vision for your function. As the team is small in size (but huge in calibre), you will need at times to be "hands-on" when supporting improvement activities or coaching your team through ad-hoc breakdown scenarios.

Key selection criteria:

• Continual health and safety mindset
• Proven track record of engineering leadership (team leader, senior engineer, engineering manager) within a fast paced, FMCG manufacturing environment
• Blend of electrical and mechanical skills
