Reporting through to C‑Suite, this is a unique opportunity to own, develop and improve the operational and strategic Engineering agenda for this rapidly growing specialist food business.
An expanding International presence with a heavy focus on innovation / range growth make safety, reliability and automation key priorities. This newly created role will oversee all engineering activities with a permanent base at the business’ state‑of‑the‑art production site in Northern Ireland.
Working cross‑functionally with huge visibility (in direct collaboration with the CEO) as well as externally with suppliers, the successful candidate will challenge the existing whilst bringing the “outside‑in” as a headline of your continuous‑improvement remit.
From day one, your extensive engineering leadership skill set will be put to the test – from project management and budget control through to legal compliance and audit readiness, you’ll be the “go to” for reliability and production efficiency.
With team‑management and team‑growth responsibility, it’s a given that people influence and coaching along with upward communication will be front and centre of your toolkit.
In an open‑door, proactive “scale‑up” culture, your ability to be both top‑level strategist / innovator and operational do‑er / mentor is key. This is far from just “a here and now”… we’re looking for someone who relishes the thought of shaping their remit and growing a function. If this sounds like you … get in touch for a chat in confidence.
