Role Overview

The Senior Production Engineer will act as a project manager and will report to the Head of Manufacturing and support the Accountable Manager to get the Production Organisation Approval (POA) to our company. The continuous monitoring of the POA, identification of gaps and corrective actions, as well as the continuous improvement for the certification will also be among your main activities.

You will also have the responsibilities for keeping the Manufacturing Team aligned with the Design Organisation Team and the Independent System Monitoring (ISM), to certify that the POA and DOA are always linked during its whole process: implementation and maintenance.
