Role Summary

Asset Management Senior Engineer. Responsible for improving how physical assets are managed and operated to ensure manufacturing sites reliably deliver products to patients. Supports deployment of asset management standards across work management, operational reliability, reliability by design, calibration management, and engineering store management. Increases asset availability, reduces operational losses and embeds compliant, data‑driven ways of working.

Responsibilities

Reliability Excellence Management

• Master asset reliability standards such as FMECA, RCM, RAMS, preventive maintenance effectiveness review, preventive maintenance optimization, root cause analysis, bad actor management and criticality management.
• Have good knowledge of supportive EHS tools including Hazid, Hazop and LOA.
• Use EAM data (SAP ECC, S/4HANA, …) to drive improvements.
• Optimize reliability strategies to reduce failure rate and costs.
• Oversee 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 such as 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 and quality CMMS data to enable effective planning and execution.
• Support sites in improving daily maintenance execution, reducing emergency work, backlog and asset impact, in 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 scorecards.
• 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 with strong data integrity; work closely with CMMS groups to ensure consistency across systems.
• Identify opportunities to optimize calibration strategies based on risk, performance and regulatory expectations, delivering data‑driven calibration optimization insights.
• Work closely with Quality, Engineering and Maintenance teams to ensure compliant and efficient calibration execution; contribute to the reliability governance and animate the calibration community of practices.
• Use digital tools and AI to enable metrics and insights, accelerating decision making and simplifying data analysis across all manufacturing groups.

Engineering Stores

• Master engineering stores and spare parts management processes, including critical spares, stock strategies and obsolescence management.
• Align CMMS equipment structures, BOMs, spare parts and maintenance plans.
• Optimize inventory levels, cash exposure and risk while increasing parts availability.
• Link reliability analysis with spare parts strategies to reduce MTTR and prevent failures.
• Use CMMS data and digital tools (AI, Python, etc.) to deliver insights driving actions.
• Animate engineering stores CoP, driving continuous improvement and capabilities across all sites.
• Use scorecards and insights to drive cross‑site benchmarks.

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

• Act as a single point of contact for site engineering teams and operational leads in their field of specialties.
• Leverage GSK production system to eliminate waste and failures, driving continuous improvement.
• Build relationships with sites, service providers or stakeholders aligned with objectives.

Digital Fluency

• Translate business processes into functional requirements, working closely with the operational engineering system director.
• Ensure reporting tools support business needs in the field of competency and assess tool features against enterprise needs.
• Manipulate databases and use SQL to query data; Python is a plus.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Automation or Chemical Engineering.
• Orange Belt.
• 5+ years of experience working in a highly regulated Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) environment.
• Experience leading facility equipment programs and maintenance teams.
• Experience with machines, production lines and highly regulated environments such as pharma, healthcare, food, cosmetics or aeronautics.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Automation or Chemical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
• Green Belt.
• Leadership experience in coaching and collaborative working.
• Familiarity with manufacturing regulatory requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to influence at all levels.
