• Excellent problem-solving skills and a data-driven mindset.
• Ability to work collaboratively and build strong relationships.

Responsibilities

• Engineer process improvements to reduce losses, boost efficiency and sustainability, and improve cost, safety, and quality.
• Track and present process performance at daily meetings.
• Take ownership of operational losses and lead root cause analyses.
• Identify opportunities for improvement and plan, facilitate, or lead execution.
• Collaborate with global engineering, quality, and supply chain teams.
• Provide technical support during product scale-up and troubleshooting.
• Prepare and maintain flow diagrams, P&IDs, SOPs, and operating manuals.
• Support CAPEX and innovation projects with technical documentation.
• Coach and educate colleagues in continuous improvement methods.
