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, based permanently at the company's 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. The successful candidate will challenge the status quo while bringing an outside-in perspective as part of a continuous improvement approach.
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.
This role includes team management and development responsibilities. People influence, coaching, and upward communication will be central to your toolkit.
In an open-door, proactive "scale-up" culture, your ability to be both a strategic/innovative leader and an operational doer/mentor is essential. We seek someone who relishes shaping their remit and growing the function. If this sounds like you, get in touch for a confidential chat.
