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 business’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. You’ll challenge existing processes while bringing an outside-in perspective as part of your continuous improvement efforts.
From day one, your extensive engineering leadership skills will be tested — from project management and budget control to legal compliance and audit readiness. You’ll 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 strategic innovator and operational doer/mentor is essential. 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.
