What We're Looking For

  • Degree in Process, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical or related Engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years' experience in Process or Project Engineering within food, dairy, pharmaceutical, nutrition, FMCG or related manufacturing environments.
  • Experience delivering CAPEX projects within greenfield and/or brownfield facilities.
  • Strong understanding of liquid processing systems; aseptic or UHT experience would be a distinct advantage.
  • Experience with commissioning and qualification activities including FAT/SAT and DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ.
  • Familiarity with PLC, SCADA and MES-controlled environments.
  • Strong communication, troubleshooting and stakeholder management skills.

What's On Offer

  • Highly competitive salary.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work on one of Ireland's most significant greenfield manufacturing investments.
  • Exposure to cutting-edge processing and automation technologies.
  • Clear opportunities for career progression as the facility grows and expands.
