Lead manufacturing line design and launch – bid package development, vendor selection, front-end engineering design, design reviews, fabrication, acceptance testing, construction, installation, commissioning and handover to operations.
Manage project execution to ensure they are delivered to scope, on time and on budget. Procure equipment, track budget costs, and project schedules.
Develop initial manufacturing strategies for new projects by performing detailed feasibility, project timing and cost estimate studies.
Participate in engineering activities with the product design team ensuring that flexible, cost effective, robust and reusable processes and equipment are implemented.
Provide technical support for the assessment of different manufacturing scenarios.
Identify, investigate, test and validate new innovative technology and work methods for future implementation (e.g. virtual manufacturing environment, product feasibility simulation, throughput simulation).
Support sourcing activities including identification of potential suppliers and technical evaluations of quotations.
Iterate engineering design to meet functional requirements and lead vendors through mechanical, electrical and software design reviews.
Install, commission and start-up equipment balancing speed and safety.
Ensure manufacturing lines meet uptime, availability and reliability metrics – OEE, cycle time, quality and first time through.
Develop and deliver training to operations and maintenance technicians to ensure and seamless handover of new equipment.
Coordinate continuous improvement measures to ensure that project lessons learnt are captured and knowledge is transferred across the team and organization.
Ensure that all equipment, processes and methodologies comply with applicable standards, company policy and all Health and Safety Laws, Acts, Regulations and Codes.
Travel is expected – e.g. for vendor visits, equipment installation and commissioning.
