Job Description Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International? Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It With Pride. The role is responsible for conceptualizing, designing and developing world-class manufacturing lines from scratch, with strong focus on cost competitiveness, scalability, efficiency and future flexibility. The position owns the front end engineering and capital approval journey – from concept definition through lay outing, mass balancing, vendor evaluation, and CAPEX estimation – ensuring that projects are technically robust and commercially competitive before moving into execution. This is a strategic engineering role, not a plant-operations role. This serves as a bridge between the strategy and execution. To support growth, world-class manufacturing and productivity, you manage the detailed planning, development and execution of capital projects, leading technical development, feasibility perspectives on engineering-related activities within the supply chain, and capital expense project execution meeting the highest levels of quality, safety and environmental requirements. You follow Mondelēz business and innovation processes in project management and ensure adherence to Mondelēz standards in execution.

    • Scalability without significant rework.
• Layouting, Mass Balancing & Technical Design

  • Drive projects up to AR Capital approval stage.
  • Ensure capital proposals are:
    • Cost competitive
    • Energy efficient
    • Aligned to long-term manufacturing strategy.
  • Support leadership with data-driven inputs for capital decision-making.

  • Identify, evaluate, and engage with biscuit equipment OEMs and engineering partners.
  • Compare global vs local technology options to drive best value.
  • Develop strong understanding of:
    • Vendor capabilities
    • Proven vs emerging technologies
    • Cost and performance trade-offs.
  • Ensure selected solutions deliver competitive advantage in manufacturing.
• Governance During Installation & Commissioning
  • While execution, installation, and commissioning are led by external vendors and execution teams, this role will:
  • Govern technical adherence to approved designs
  • Support issue resolution during commissioning
  • Ensure line performance meets approved specifications.
  • Travel to plants during critical commissioning phases as required.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with: R&D (product/process requirements) Operations (operability, maintainability) Quality & Food Safety Finance (capital governance and approvals).
  • Ensure smooth transition from design to execution to operations.
