WHAT WILL YOUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES BE

• To work directly with the line crews daily acting as the technical trainer for line teams and providing coaching in phenomena identification, root cause analysis and the establishment of countermeasures.
• Responsible for the validation of all process improvements and the establishment of revised basic conditions on the line. A core deliverable is eliminating losses and waste and increasing the stability of the line to support the transition of traditional line teams to semi-autonomous teams.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SUCCEED

Experiences & Qualifications

• Degree Mechanical/ Chemical/ Electrical/ Industrial Engineering/BTech.
• Must have 2 years Process Engineering experience from a Continuous Processing background within FMCG/ Manufacturing environment.
• Able to visualize clearly what the ideal production system is.
• Able to clearly understand operating principles and establish correct operating standards.
• Able to present findings and rationales clearly so that whole factory team can understand.
• Able to make logical decisions based on data.
• Experience in statistics and process control tools.
• Experience in AM, PM, Quality and FI tools and processes.
• HAZOPs and Safety Approval Systems working knowledge & experience is essential.
• Valid driver’s license and own working motor vehicle.

Key Responsibilities

• Eliminate Waste and Loss according to the WCM prioritization process using AM, PM, FI and QC pillar tools and methodologies.
• Troubleshoot process-related problems and implement corrective actions.
• Monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) to identify areas for improvement.
• Process design and simulation using PFD (Process Flow Diagram)
• End-to-end Project management (OTIF)
• Create Technical Standards to ensure process stability on the line
• Train line crews on technical standards and restoration of basic conditions (Stability sustainability)
• Identify and extend good practice to other lines
• Application and accuracy of MMP Code data
• Consumer & Customer Focus.  Building world class factories will eliminate losses and ensure that we do not pass on the cost of inefficiencies to our customers and consumers
• Bias for Action.  By providing consistent and near real time information, decisions can be taken quickly which leverage our resources
• Building Talent & Teams.  Our vision is to move to semi-autonomous teams, and we require process engineers with a passion for achieving results through great teamwork, an ability to teach new tools and methodologies and ensuring that you and your colleagues are fully aligned, and drawing on one another’s strengths
