  • Partner with Maintenance, Engineering, Operations, and OEM partners to align resources and improvement priorities.
  • Serve as the primary technical advisor to site leadership on filler performance strategy, risk mitigation, and improvement sequencing.
  • Coach and develop internal engineers and technicians through knowledge transfer, structured problem-solving, and best-practice guidance.
  • Monitor progress against improvement plans and provide recommendations to sustain long-term performance gains.
Requirements:

  • Deep expertise across mechanical, electrical, and controls systems associated with JBT SF&DS Asep-tec Linear Fillers.
  • Proven success leading performance improvement initiatives that deliver measurable OEE improvements.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret operational data and translate insights into actionable recommendations.
  • Experience working in a consulting, advisory, or leadership capacity where influence is achieved without direct authority.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage plant leadership, technical teams, and OEM partners.
