What will you

We are seeking a skilled Packaging Process Engineer to provide front-line production support in a dynamic manufacturing environment with multiple production lines. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, focusing on optimizing packaging processes to enhance Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), drive Continuous Improvement initiatives, and achieve measurable Cost Savings. This role involves troubleshooting equipment issues, implementing efficiency enhancements, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless operations, minimal downtime, and high-quality output. If you thrive in a fast-paced setting and have a passion for process optimization, this position offers an opportunity to make a direct impact on production performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide on-the-floor support for packaging lines, including rapid troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, and process-related issues to minimize downtime and maintain OEE targets.
• Analyze production data to identify bottlenecks, calculate OEE metrics (availability, performance, quality), and implement improvements to boost line efficiency.
• Lead Continuous Improvement projects using methodologies like Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and root cause analysis (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams) to eliminate waste and enhance processes.
• Develop and execute cost-saving strategies, such as material optimization, waste reduction, and energy efficiency measures, while tracking ROI and reporting on savings achieved.
• Collaborate with operators, maintenance teams, and suppliers to cross-train staff, redesign process flows, and ensure compliance with quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001, FDA if applicable).
• Monitor multiple production lines for process stability using statistical process control (SPC) tools and predictive maintenance techniques.
• Conduct risk assessments, safety audits, and ergonomic evaluations to prevent incidents and support a safe working environment.
• Prepare reports and dashboards on KPIs, presenting findings to management to inform decision-making.
• Stay updated on industry trends in packaging technology and materials to propose innovative solutions.

Required Qualifications and Skills

Education: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field. Advanced certifications (e.g., Six Sigma Green Belt, Lean Practitioner) are a plus.
   

Experience: 

• 3-5 years in a manufacturing or process engineering role, preferably in packaging or high-volume production environments with multiple lines. Proven track record in improving OEE, implementing Continuous Improvement, and delivering Cost Savings.

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in packaging equipment (e.g., fillers, sealers, labelers) and process optimization tools (e.g., OEE software, Minitab, Excel for data analysis).
• Strong knowledge of quality control methods, including SPC, defect analysis, and compliance standards.
• Experience with data analytics, PLCs, sensors, and reporting tools (e.g., Power BI).
• Familiarity with cost management, waste reduction, and supplier interactions
   

Soft Skills: 

• Excellent problem-solving abilities under pressure, strong communication for team collaboration, and leadership in training front-line staff.
   

Other Requirements: 

• Ability to work in a manufacturing setting with physical demands (e.g., standing, lifting). Willingness to work flexible hours, including shifts if needed.
   

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in specific industries like food, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods packaging.
• Advanced data modeling or predictive analytics skills.
• Demonstrated success in achieving quantifiable KPI improvements (e.g., 10% OEE increase or $X in annual cost savings).
