In this key leadership role, you will be at the heart of our factory’s future development, leading our Engineering organization while driving strategic investments, new technologies and continuous improvement across the site.

You will have the opportunity to influence both where we are going and how we get there.

What will you do?

As Engineering Manager, you will lead and develop the Engineering team and take ownership of the site’s engineering and investment agenda.

You will:

Who are we looking for?

We believe you are a strong and curious leader with experience from Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations or complex Project Management.

You know how to lead significant investment projects, but you also understand that great engineering is about much more than technology. It is about people, collaboration and turning bold ideas into sustainable results.

You combine critical thinking with a hands-on mindset and enjoy working in an environment where priorities evolve, collaboration crosses organizational boundaries and there is real opportunity to make a difference.

Most importantly, you are a leader who wants to develop people, challenge the status quo and build for the future.

If you are excited by the opportunity to combine people leadership, technology, investments and manufacturing excellence, we would love to hear from you.

Come and help us shape the factory of the future.
