Essential Requirements:
- Minimum 10 years’ experience as a Process Engineer or Manufacturing Engineer within a manufacturing environment.
- Significant experience in an assembly manufacturing environment, preferably within the medical device or medical equipment industry.
- Proven experience implementing Lean Manufacturing principles and delivering measurable continuous improvement projects.
