The posting
Are you looking for an engineering role that allows you to leverage your technical knowledge in a state-of-the-art manufacturing environment? If so, this Asset Management Senior Engineer role could be an ideal opportunity to explore.
The operational asset management specialist plays a key role in helping manufacturing sites reliably deliver products to patients by improving how physical assets are managed and operated. Working closely with site teams, he supports the deployment of asset management standards across work management, operational reliability and reliability by design, calibration management, and engineering store management. His contribution increases asset availability, reduce operational losses, and embed compliant, data‑driven ways of working. Through hands‑on collaboration at site level and effective use of EAM systems and digital tools, he enables sites to secure service to patients, improves cost management and asset usage while maintaining the highest standards of Quality, EHS, and GMP compliance.
This role is practical and impact‑focused: He helps turn standards into daily operational practices that create measurable and sustainable value for the business.
Each specialist is expected to master a combination of 2 of the first 4 domains and brings a demonstrated level of competencies in the 4th level, supporting their primary 2 specialties.
