Reporting through to C-Suite, this is a unique opportunity to own, develop and improve the operational and strategic Engineering agenda for this rapidly growing specialist food business.
An expanding international presence with a heavy focus on innovation and range growth makes safety, reliability, and automation key priorities. This newly created role will oversee all engineering activities with a permanent base at the business’s state-of-the-art production site in Northern Ireland.
Working cross-functionally with high visibility (often in direct collaboration with the CEO) as well as externally with suppliers, the successful candidate will challenge the existing while bringing an "outside-in" perspective as part of the continuous improvement remit.
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 team management and development responsibilities, 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 operational doer/mentor is essential. This is not just about the present; we’re looking for someone who relishes shaping their remit and growing a function. If this sounds like you, get in touch for a confidential chat.
