  • Developing tools to track, analyse and report KPIs that genuinely drive performance
  • Supporting investigations into quality concerns and customer complaints through detailed data interrogation
  • Championing health, safety and environmental excellence - leading by example at all times

Requirements

  • Proven experience in a manufacturing process improvement or CI role
  • Strong analytical capability with confidence using data to drive decisions
  • Experience working closely with production teams in fast-paced environments
  • Exposure to process control systems (Escada knowledge is advantageous)
