  • Set and adjust sealing parameters for consistent packaging quality.
  • Apply SMED and Lean tools to reduce waste and improve changeover times.
  • Support continuous improvement and reliability projects.
  • Work to GMP, HACCP, HSWA 2015, and food safety requirements.
  • Keep maintenance and calibration records accurate and audit-ready.
  • Support MPI, WorkSafe, and customer audit activities.
  • Promote safe work behaviors, including LOTO and hazard identification.

What You Will Bring

  • 3+ years’ maintenance engineering experience, with at least 2 years in dairy, food, or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • Strong understanding of GMP, HACCP, and food safety standards.
  • Experience with sachet / pouch machinery and high-speed packaging equipment.
  • Skilled in diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults (PLCs, VFDs, servo systems, sensors).
  • Familiar with packaging materials (PET, PE, ALU, laminated films) and automation / process control.
  • Experience using CMMS, predictive maintenance tools, and Lean / Six Sigma methods.
  • Who You Are

  • A calm practical problem-solver who enjoys working under pressure.
  • Someone who communicates clearly and works well with different teams.
  • Detail-focused with strong documentation habits.
  • Committed to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving production environment.
