We’re curious and ready for what’s next. We embrace digital, use data to make better decisions, and keep learning, including how AI can help us work smarter and serve consumers better.

Process Engineers are required in our sites to support Manufacturing teams by focusing on technical elimination of losses and waste on the production line including, but not limited to Minor Stoppage reduction, Change over time reduction, Elimination of RPM waste, Support of digital related projects, Other NVAA reduction activities.

Process engineers are involved in continuous improvements from the engineer viewpoint, responsible to solve chronical problems, reduce NVAA, develop standards, and drive productivity while granting quality and safety.

Process engineers also lead/co-ordinate the deployment of digital activities in the factories. The focus will be on enabling our manufacturing sites to deploy appropriate, standardized technologies and ensure consistency in deployment and associated benefit delivery. Main Job Purpose the Process Engineer role is critical to the development of our factories to World Class, which means zero defects, zero waste and zero losses.

He/She will apply extensively the full range of Focused Improvement methods and tools to counter losses identified in the areas of Safety, Quality, Business priority and Cost maintenance, Customer Service and Agility. Deployment, Autonomous The Business priority and Cost Deployment pillar will be populated with data built up through application of the Managing Manufacturing Performance Code, which is key to ensuring focus on the main losses.

Working directly with the line crews on a daily basis the Process Engineer also acts as the technical trainer for line teams and provides coaching in phenomena identification, root cause analysis and the establishment of countermeasures. The Process Engineer is responsible for the validation of all process improvements and the establishment of revised basic conditions on the line. FI pillar and process engineers will collaborate with Customer Service and Agility team regarding to OR (Foundation Tier) and site DBNR improvement (Advanced Tier).
