Reporting directly to the C-Suite, this is a unique opportunity to own, develop, and improve the operational and strategic engineering agenda for a rapidly growing specialist food business.
An expanding international presence with a strong focus on innovation and range growth makes safety, reliability, and automation key priorities. This newly created role will oversee all engineering activities at the company's state-of-the-art production site in Northern Ireland.
You will work cross-functionally with high visibility, often in direct collaboration with the CEO, as well as externally with suppliers. The successful candidate will challenge the status quo and bring an "outside-in" perspective to continuous improvement initiatives.
From day one, your extensive engineering leadership skills will be tested — from project management and budget control to legal compliance and audit readiness. You will be the go-to person for reliability and production efficiency.
With team management and development responsibilities, influencing and coaching people, along with effective upward communication, will be central to your role.
In an open-door, proactive "scale-up" culture, your ability to balance strategic thinking, innovation, operational execution, and mentoring is essential. We are looking for someone who relishes shaping their remit and growing the function. If this sounds like you, get in touch for a confidential chat.
