Job Summary
We are seeking a Process Engineer to support the optimisation standardisation and automation of our endtoend manufacturing processes. Although we operate within a construction manufacturing environment we strongly value experience from FMCG packaging food & beverage or high-volume manufacturing where process discipline HACCP principles and robust SOP/PPS practices drive efficiency and quality.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building processes from the ground up improving existing flows and implementing practical automation solutions that enhance safety quality and throughput. There will be travel to the UK to help translate the licensed UK process into an efficient repeatable safe and quality-controlled Irish manufacturing operation.
Key Responsibilities
Process Engineering & Optimisation
- Analyse new & current manufacturing workflows and map detailed process flows using Lean Six Sigma or similar methodologies.
- Lead and support value stream mapping cycle-time studies and bottleneck analysis.
- Implement improvements targeting reduced waste improved takt time and higher process reliability.
- Support capacity modelling and process layout changes as the facility scales.
Automation & Technology Integration
