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 with a permanent base 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 existing processes while bringing an 'outside-in' perspective as part of your continuous improvement mandate.
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 responsibilities for team management and development, influencing people and coaching, along with effective upward communication, will be central to your role.
In an open-door, proactive 'scale-up' culture, your ability to be both a top-level strategist and innovator, operational doer, and mentor is essential. We are looking for someone who relishes shaping their remit and growing a function. If this sounds like you, get in touch for a confidential chat.
