Overview
Developing and testing solutions to solve technical issues within our manufacturing environment; that’s the top priority for our engineers!
In our factory in Merthyr Tydfil, we produce and pack up to 50 tons of wafer, marshmallow bars, toffees and eclairs per day on a large variety of production and packaging lines and machines. The effects of a downtime can then only be guessed at. It is up to you and the rest of the Engineering team to prevent these downtimes from happening and if they do happen, to keep them as short as possible.
You will operate the designated production department according to plan and maintain equipment efficiency, whilst ensuring that all specified standards (e.g. food safety and quality), policies, guidelines and regulatory requirements are complied with.

* developing, assembling, procuring, or modifying existing and new tooling, fixtures, and/or equipment to ensure production efficiency;
* assisting with revisions and improvements to manufacturing methods and procedures, including writing change orders and deviations;
* conducting time studies to quantify processing times and inspecting products to identify areas for process improvement and provide hands-on training to operators;
* scheduling, performing and documenting routine maintenance on manufacturing and test equipment; and
* actively promoting and supporting Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement initiatives, ensuring compliance with quality system requirements and collaborating with contractors on project specifications.
