Role Overview

You will be embedded in a busy production environment where your primary focus is keeping process equipment running at full capacity.

• Run production equipment according to standard operating procedures, making minor process adjustments to maintain high throughput and consistent output quality.
• Work strictly within safety protocols, ensuring that your own actions and those of the team do not place people, equipment, or the surrounding environment at risk.
• Coach new hires and trainees on the shop floor, demonstrating correct machinery handling, quality checks, and safety practices.
• Operate assigned machinery on your own, using sound judgment to resolve minor issues before they escalate and only escalating more complex faults when necessary.
• Perform regular checks on quality, production output, and business systems, completing all required paperwork and digital records accurately.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or Electronic Engineering (or an equivalent technical qualification).
• At least 2 to 3 years of hands-on process operation experience in an FMCG manufacturing environment.
