Are you ready to make a significant impact in the world of life-changing medicines?

At AstraZeneca, we are driven by the challenge to stay ahead in rapidly changing markets, continuously seeking new and better ways to deliver medicines to our patients.

As a Maintenance Manager, you'll be at the forefront of this mission, leading a team within a modern manufacturing facility to ensure outstanding asset performance. Your role will involve providing technical leadership, coaching Engineering Technicians, and driving asset care strategies that align with our ambitious goals. Are you prepared to lead with confidence, collaborate effectively, and embrace the power of science?

Accountabilities

In this dynamic role, you'll be part of a manufacturing facility leadership team, ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations. You'll monitor and maintain adherence to cGMP, SHE, Fiscal, and Business procedures. Your responsibility will extend to optimising asset contribution to OEE through world-class asset care processes. You'll provide expert mentorship on assets, asset care, performance, and variability. We expect you to deliver Asset Care capability and data-driven improvements to support our business strategy. As a leader, you'll inspire your team to understand and passionately contribute to our collective success.

Essential Skills/Experience

• Proven leadership experience with a demonstrated ability to cultivate high-performing teams and foster a positive, motivating work environment.
• Evidence of improvement in equipment performance, productivity and team effectiveness.
• A confident and engaging communicator who can influence a variety of partners to drive success.
• You'll have a relevant engineering degree (preferred) or recognised engineering training route (e.g. apprenticeship with HNC/HND or equivalent).
• Significant and relevant experience of assets and asset care practices within a GMP / highly regulated / FMCG environment.

Desirable Skills/Experience

• Understanding of TPM principles and evidence of deployment.
• Utilising previous experience, you will value the opportunity to lead, empower and develop your team, and ideally you will be Chartered or working towards Chartership with an appropriate engineering institution (e.g. IMechE).

Please note: the role requires a level of shift flexibility and on call support.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of five days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

There are so many fantastic employee benefits that AstraZeneca offer. AstraZeneca can offer you a competitive salary, private healthcare, a generous holiday allowance, phenomenal training and development opportunities, and much more.

At AstraZeneca we’re dedicated to being a Great Place to Work. Where you are empowered to push the boundaries of science and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit. There’s no better place to make a difference to medicine, patients and society. An inclusive culture that champions diversity and collaboration. Always committed to lifelong learning, growth and development.
