This is an EMEA role and can be based in any of our European power facilities – UK, Ireland, Poland, Austria.

• Create robust operating mechanisms for Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning, capacity planning, order intake readiness, engineering release, long-lead material management, production scheduling and on-time customer delivery
• Drive operational discipline in configuration management, change control, design-for-manufacture, non-conformance reduction, lessons learned and continuous improvement across engineered solutions
• Coach, mentor and develop operations leadership, building accountability, succession strength and the capability to operate in a fast-growth, project-led manufacturing environment
• Leverage industry practices, lean methodologies, digital tools, automation opportunities and standard work to improve productivity, lead time, cost competitiveness and repeatability without compromising customer-specific engineering requirements
• Establish strong relationships with top customers and service partners, ensure proactive communication, credible recovery planning and executive-level responsiveness on critical programmes
• Influence change management through collaboration, data-led decision making, metric management and clear communication across functions, sites and regions
• Drive innovative solution design and scalable operating models that support business growth, speed, quality, sustainability, compliance and best-in-class customer experience.
