Process Engineer

About the Role As a Manufacturing Process Engineer, you will report to the Engineering Manager and own optimization of core plasterboard production processes—driving safety, quality, throughput, and cost improvements on the plant floor. This high-impact role offers clear development pathways into operations and engineering leadership.

Some tasks as part of this role include:

Lead process optimization across plasterboard unit operations: calcination, mixing, forming line, drying, cutting, edge finishing, stacking, and packaging.

Improve OEE, reduce scrap, and shorten cycle times through data-driven problem solving and continuous improvement.

Develop and maintain PFMEA, control plans, standardized work, and work instructions for stable, repeatable processes.

Apply Lean/Six Sigma tools (DMAIC, 5S, Kaizen, SPC, DOE) to address root causes and lock in gains.

Partner cross-functionally with Production, Quality, Maintenance, Supply Chain, and R&D on NPI, product variants (e.g., fire-rated, moisture-resistant), and scale-up.

Drive automation and mistake-proofing; collaborate on controls/PLC improvements, recipe management, and real-time process monitoring.

Plan and execute trials and validations; establish IQ/OQ/PQ and capability analyses where applicable.

Champion a safety-first culture and ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g., ISO 9001) and site procedures.
