Expleo is recruiting a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) Lead to support a major manufacturing programme based in Liverpool. This role suits a senior simulation professional with a strong background in production systems and process flow modelling, capable of leading DES activities from early concept through to production launch and post‑launch optimisation. Location: Liverpool Contract: Contract The Role You will be responsible for the development, delivery, and optimisation of Discrete Event Simulation models, covering the full lifecycle from concept through to production and early operational phases. The DES models will provide a fully detailed digital representation of the system, supporting decision‑making across performance, safety, quality, delivery, cost, people, and environmental objectives. Key Responsibilities Lead the development of Discrete Event Simulation models from concept modelling through to fully detailed system representation Ensure models meet defined design scope, operating principles, and performance metrics Drive system optimisation, identifying cost avoidance opportunities and capturing best practices for wider deployment Work collaboratively with cross‑functional design teams to develop and optimise solutions within agreed timelines Apply strong product and process knowledge to ensure potential design and operational constraints are considered Coordinate and lead the communication o...
