Established FMCG /Manufacturing team with a global footprint in over 100 markets seeks a super strong Head of Engineering – smart, confident, strategic, understands the macro dynamics of a factory and really passionate about manufacturing / engineering.
This role is suited to a senior candidate already in a Head of Engineering or Engineering Director level role. This role will be responsible for managing plant maintenance, capital procurement, engineering, projects and health and safety.
This is a “hands-on” role. The Head of Engineering will spend the majority of his/her time in the factory. As such, this role suits a candidate whose career has to date been Plant based (rather than head office based).

a) the importance of this role
b) the level of seniority needed
c) the support needed to achieve the growth projects planned.

- 10+ years technical management role in an FMCG environment
- Plastic bottling and packaging experience.
