Job Description

Industrial Engineer 3

Summary of the role

At Smith+Nephew, we operate in a regulated industry. How we manufacture products and components plays a vital role in meeting expectations set by regulatory bodies across the globe. How we do it isn\'t always about finding and driving efficiencies in a process, although, that is important too!

To support our new manufacturing plant, this role will plan and implement the detailed physical manufacturing processes and layout to support the phased approach from validation to manufacture of semi-finished goods to full production.

This part is key! Being able to validate our processes and remediate Design Control activities, means we can remain aligned to all relevant regulatory frameworks allowing new and continued market access for our products.

A strong understanding of operations methodologies and process modification is required to succeed in this position. To achieve all of the above will require levels of testing and verification that will clearly outline and validate our processes, capability and deliver improved efficiencies.
