Job description

A global engineering and project delivery consultancy that partners with some of the world's leading automotive, battery, manufacturing, and technology organisations are looking for an experienced Launch manufacturing engineering Specialist - EV to play a key role in the launch of a brand-new electric powertrain manufacturing facility in the Middle East. You'll be joining the company to support a major automotive client as they scale up production of cutting-edge electric drive systems, including e-motors, inverters, and integrated e-drive assemblies.

This isn't a maintenance or BAU manufacturing role. You'll be involved in the complete lifecycle of a new production line, from equipment installation and commissioning through process qualification, run-at-rate, PPAP, Start of Production, and ramp-up to full-scale manufacturing.

The site is north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It will be a contract role until the end of 2027 (view to extend). Work visa support by the company.

Experience

• Engineering degree (MSc or equivalent) in mechanical, electrical, mechatronic, manufacturing, materials or industrial engineering.
• 5 to 10 years minimum for process engineering in high-volume manufacturing — automotive powertrain or components, electric motors, electronics, or comparable takt-driven assembly.
• Hands-on production floor experience: you have owned a process at rate, not only designed one on paper.
• Command of automotive quality methods: PFMEA, control plans, 8D, root cause analysis, APQP and PPAP.
• Clear written and verbal communication in English
