• Taking ownership of manufacturing challenges and driving solutions through to successful implementation.
• Developing, introducing and optimising manufacturing processes and equipment.
• Leveraging digital technologies and innovative approaches to enhance manufacturing performance and product quality.
• Supporting manufacturing readiness for new products and process developments.
• Contributing to and promoting Siemens Healthineers' Zero Harm culture.

What Skills and Experience You'll Bring

• Degree qualified in Engineering, Manufacturing, Science or a related discipline, or equivalent experience within a manufacturing or process engineering environment.
• Proven ability to identify root causes, solve technical problems and implement sustainable solutions.
• Experience working within a manufacturing, production, engineering or operational environment.
• Strong project management and continuous improvement capability.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to work independently, make informed decisions and take ownership of issues through to resolution.
• A collaborative mindset with the confidence to work effectively across multiple functions and levels of the organisation.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with a passion for driving improvements and delivering results.
• Experience of supporting manufacturing process development, equipment implementation or production optimisation would be advantageous.

What's On Offer

In addition to working on technology that helps improve and save lives, you'll benefit from a rewarding career with excellent opportunities for personal and professional development.

We offer

• Competitive base salary
• 26 days annual leave, with the option to buy up to 10 additional days and sell up to 5 days
