• Identify bottlenecks and improvement opportunities across the value stream and lead initiatives that improve equipment performance, efficiency, and manufacturing stability
• Lead and develop the technical team, including CI Engineering and Maintenance Technicians, through competency matrices, training, standards, and continuous capability development
• Own the OPEX and CAPEX budget for maintenance and technical projects, ensuring effective resource allocation and measurable business impact
• Lead CAPEX and engineering projects from identifying the need through technical specification, supplier coordination, implementation, commissioning, and handover
• Build a data-driven and standardized engineering culture through technical documentation, maintenance standards, structured training, and evidence-based decision-making

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of leadership experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Maintenance, Engineering, or a related manufacturing function
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field
• Strong practical understanding of equipment reliability, maintenance systems, and manufacturing engineering, including CMMS and KPIs such as OEE, MTBF, MTTR, and availability
• Hands-on knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and structured problem-solving methods, including 5S, Kaizen, SMED, Standard Work, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, 8D, and FMEA
• Good understanding of automation, pneumatics, and electrical systems; basic PLC knowledge is an advantage
• Proven experience managing CAPEX projects, OPEX/CAPEX budgets, and technical resources from planning through implementation
• Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset, with the ability to use data to identify root causes, bottlenecks, and long-term improvement opportunities
• Experience developing technical teams, competency matrices, standards, documentation, and training systems
• Structured, calm, and independent approach, with a strong focus on long-term stability, prevention, and continuous improvement
