Job Summary

Reporting to the Process Improvement & Quality Manager, the Process Engineer will play a crucial role in driving

operational efficiency and supporting the implementation of process improvements and quality across manufacturing

operations. In this position, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to identify, analyze, and implement

strategies that enhance productivity, reduce waste, and improve overall process quality. You will be involved in

optimizing production workflows, improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and supporting the integration of

new machineries, equipment and technologies. The role requires a combination of technical expertise, problem-solving

skills, and a passion for continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

 Process Design & development: Design, develop and support implementation of new or modified manufacturing

processes and/or new plant facility / production line, set up, and scaling of infrastructure to meet production

goals particularly focusing on printing and flexible packaging (e.g. pouching). Setting up stations,

considering all aspects of safety, quality and operation in process flow and layout.

 Technology Integration & Automation: Assist in the evaluation and implementation of new technologies,

equipment’s automation, process instrumentation and process controls that improve production capabilities and

align with long-term process improvement objectives.

 Process Optimization: Analyze current manufacturing processes to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for

improvement. Refine process designs to optimize performance, reduce costs, and ensure operational consistency.

Apply lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other process improvement methodologies to streamline workflows, reduce

cycle times, and eliminate waste.

 Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): Support the development and monitoring of OEE metrics, aiming to

optimize machine utilization, reduce downtime, improve product quality and increase production efficiency.

 Driving Process engineering Projects: Lead and/or participate in cross-functional process improvement projects,

ensuring timely execution, adherence to budgets, and successful outcomes. Develop project plans, set clear

objectives, and track progress to meet goals.

 Preventive Maintenance (PM) & Calibration: Support to implement and schedule regular maintenance tasks to

ensure equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of machinery. Ensure color consistency and

accurate calibration for the printing processes.

 Training & Development: Provide technical support and training to team members on process improvements and

best practices. Empower employees to contribute to continuous improvement efforts by promoting a culture of

innovation and problem-solving.

 Data Analysis: Gather and analyze data to identify trends and root causes of process and quality issues,

collaborating with teams to develop and implement CAPA-corrective and preventive actions and process

improvements.

 Documentation & Reporting: Develop SOP’s, Work Instructions, layout, flow processes, and maintain detailed

records of process changes, performance metrics, and improvement outcomes. Prepare reports to communicate

results and progress to management and other stakeholders.

 Compliance: Ensure that all process improvements are in compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards.

Support the implementation of quality assurance and quality control

measures to maintain high manufacturing standards.

 Collaboration: Work closely with the operation, maintenance, product development, estimation, and other

departments to align improvement initiatives with quality standards and business goals.

Key Experience & Qualifications

 Bachelor’s degree in the Electrical, Mechanical, Automation, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or related

field.

 6-8 years of experience in process engineering and related roles in a manufacturing environment

 1-2 years practical experience and Knowledge of automation, PLC and process is a bonus.

instrumentation. Having experience in development and implementation of a new plant facility or production line is

an asset.

 Practical experience with OEE tracking and optimization. Down Time, Set up times, availability, Performance and

Yield improvements.

 Knowledge of process improvement methodologies (e.g. Lean, Six Sigma), data analysis, and continuous

improvement tools: Risk assessment, P-FMEA, CP, CPK, Control Plans, 5S, Capacity planning, Optimization, line

balancing and waste products.

 Skilled in AutoCAD and familiarity with data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Minitab, etc.) and ERP/MRP systems.

 Analytical skills with the ability to identify root causes of inefficiencies and design effective solutions applying P.S.

techniques (e.g. 5Why, Fish Bone & 8D)

 Strong organizational and project driving skills with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.

 Ability to work independently effectively with cross-functional teams, providing clear communication (technical and

non-technical) to drive successful projects.

 Proactive problem-solving, Multitasking, Analytical thinking Adaptability and Continuous improvement mindset,

Curiosity, Detail-oriented and Willingness to learn.

 Comfortable in a fast-paced, dynamic manufacturing environment, with the ability to prioritize tasks and manage

change effectively.
