Reporting to the Manufacturing Design Engineering Manager, the Process Improvement Engineer will be responsible for identifying and implementing process improvements using methodologies including Lean and Six Sigma to enhance efficiency, reduce waste and improve quality, while fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the organization. Working within core values that include Quality, Innovation, care for the environment and global capability with a unique product portfolio, you will be passionate about all aspects of sustained continuous improvement and striving to meet and exceed company objectives, KPI's and metrics.

Tasked with developing and implementing continuous improvement strategies in both manufacturing and company processes, you will collaborate with the engineering team to perform DMAIC activities to eliminate inefficiencies across the business and provide technical guidance to enhance production quality and efficiency. Responsible for monitoring and analysing KPI's to identify areas for improvement and taking corrective action where needed, you will drive Lean Manufacturing initiatives to optimise operations whilst fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the manufacturing team.

Able to establish effective relationships with shift supervisors or process implementers to assess needs and objectives, you will provide direction to the manufacturing team, instilling best practice and lean principles with the ability to train and mentor colleagues in SOP's and new ways of working running kaizen events whilst ensuring adherence to health and safety regulations at all times. Other duties for the varied and challenging CI Engineer position will include (but not be limited to) managing projects through to implementation, delivering on time and within budget, improving factory floor layouts and optimising workflow and operator movement, and liaising with the Engineering team with specification procurement and the implementation of new plant & equipment, as well as re-visiting implemented changes to ensure results are sustained.
