Key Responsibilities

• Review production processes, identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies, and propose improvements.
• Monitor/manipulate machine, tooling and fixture design or selection to support production volumes and product quality.
• Collaborate with design/engineering teams to ensure manufacturability of new products (DFM: Design for Manufacturing) and transition from prototype to mass production.
• Work with production planners to ensure machines, manpower and materials are used optimally to meet production schedules and cost targets.
• Troubleshoot mechanical systems, equipment failures, or process deviations on the shop floor and implement corrective actions.
• Develop and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, time-studies, and maintenance schedules for mechanical equipment.
• Ensure compliance with safety, environmental and quality standards in production operations.
• Analyse scrap, defects, downtime, and other key performance indicators (KPIs); drive continuous improvement initiatives (lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, process control).
• Manage parts, spares and tooling inventory related to mechanical production equipment; ensure minimal downtime.
• Support equipment installation, commissioning, revision/change-overs or upgrades in production environment.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
