- Strong understanding of production machinery and equipment installation would be advantageous.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Engineering qualification or apprenticeship background desirable.
Ideal Background:
We are particularly interested in engineers who have gained hands-on experience maintaining, installing, or fitting capital equipment before moving into project engineering. This practical knowledge provides a strong foundation for managing equipment installation projects and driving improvements across a manufacturing facility.
