Job description

Overview

Are you looking for an engineering role that allows you to leverage your technical knowledge in a state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing environment? If so, this Asset Management Senior Engineer role could be an ideal opportunity to explore. The operational asset management specialist plays a key role in helping manufacturing sites reliably deliver products to patients by improving how physical assets are managed and operated. Working closely with site teams, he supports the deployment of asset management standards across work management, operational reliability, reliability by design, calibration management, and engineering store management. His contribution increases asset availability, reduces operational losses, and embeds compliant, data‑driven ways of working. Through hands‑on collaboration at site level and effective use of EAM systems and digital tools, he enables sites to secure service to patients, improves cost management and asset usage while maintaining the highest standards of Quality, EHS, and GMP compliance.

This role is practical and impact‑focused: He helps turn standards into daily operational practices that create measurable and sustainable value for the business.

Responsibilities

• Reliability Excellence Management
• Master asset reliability standards: FMECA, RCM, RAMS, preventive maintenance effectiveness review, preventive maintenance optimization, root cause analysis, bad actor management, and criticality management.
• Have a good knowledge of supportive EHS tools including HazID, Hazop and LOPA.
• Use EAM data (SAP ECC, S/4HANA, etc.) to drive improvements.
• Optimize reliability strategies reducing failure rate and optimization costs.
• Oversight GMP and EHS compliance across sites and support implementation of actions.
• Work hands‑on with site teams to convert reliability analysis into sustained actions.
• Leverage digital solutions (e.g., Python) to improve diagnostics and decision‑making.
• Use cross‑site scorecards to enable benchmarking across sites.
• Animate the reliability engineering CoP, ensuring consistent development of site engineers.
• Work Execution Management
• Master end‑to‑end work management processes: gatekeeping, planning, scheduling, preparation, execution, and work order closure.
• Ensure consistent/quality CMMS data to enable effective planning and execution.
• Support sites in improving daily maintenance execution, reducing emergency work, backlog, and asset impact, with strong collaboration with the GPS team.
• Promote disciplined use of paperless tools, in compliance with data integrity requirements.
• Drive measurable improvements in asset availability, productivity, and cost efficiency through better work management practices and cross‑site scorecard.
• Animate the work management CoP, ensuring consistent development of site engineers.
• Calibration Management
• Master calibration management processes from regulatory requirements to execution and audit readiness, ensuring coherence between calibration specifications, process requirements, and maintenance plans.
• Structure and maintain calibration data in SAP/EAM (assets, plans, cycles, tolerances, priorities) with strong data integrity. Work closely with CMMS groups to ensure consistency across systems and get the data needed to drive continuous improvement.
• Identify opportunities to optimize calibration strategies based on risk, performance, and regulatory expectations, delivering data‑driven calibration optimization insights.
