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.
The company has an expanding international presence with a strong focus on innovation and range growth, making safety, reliability, and automation key priorities. This newly created role will oversee all engineering activities at the companys state-of-the-art production site in Northern Ireland.
You will work cross-functionally with high visibility, often collaborating directly with the CEO, as well as externally with suppliers. Your role will involve challenging existing processes and bringing an "outside-in" perspective to your continuous improvement initiatives.

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.
