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 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 existing processes while bringing an 'outside-in' perspective as part of your continuous improvement remit.
Your extensive engineering leadership skills will be tested from day one—covering project management, budget control, 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 and coaching people, 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 an operational doer/mentor is essential. We seek someone who relishes shaping their remit and growing a function. If this sounds like you, get in touch for a confidential chat.
