Discrete Event Simulation (DES) Lead
Certain Advantage are hiring for a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) Lead based in Liverpool.
This role is offered on an initial contract running through to early January 2027.
This role is ideal for a senior simulation professional with extensive experience in production systems and process flow modelling, able to lead discrete event simulation (DES) activities from early concept stages through to production launch and ongoing optimisation.
Your Responsibilities:
* Ensure models meet defined design scope, operating principles, and performance metrics
* Drive system optimisation, identifying cost avoidance opportunities and capturing best practices for wider deployment
* Apply strong product and process knowledge to ensure potential design and operational constraints are considered
* Coordinate and lead the communication of DES outputs through project reviews, design reviews, and dashboards
* Lead optimisation studies across different system derivatives, mixes, and operational parameters
* Conduct bottleneck analysis and develop mitigation or removal strategies
* Ensure DES activities align with build sequencing and order-of-build rules
* Contribute to the ongoing development of DES tools, techniques, and modelling standards to improve capability and robustness
