Production Engineers

We are looking for several Production Engineers on-site in Västerbottens län, Sweden. The Production Engineer is the main bridge between the commissioning phase and the production ramp-up. They will work closely with the Process Engineers to finalize commissioning and prepare the production team to take over the lines. Once the production has started, the Production Engineer is reviewing the performance and yield of the lines and launches projects to reduce the top losses in both categories. As the initial full data collection for performance and yield is not yet available, the Production Engineering group will work to enhance the data collection strategy while simultaneously working with the information available.
The Production Engineer is responsible for optimizing the performance of the lines. They will work with a cross-functional team. They will lead the root cause analysis of equipment based top losses and minor stops. They will analyse the loss data and pull in the groups needed to tackle the losses.

This role will allow you to enhance/increase your current understanding of the equipment and process and utilize it to create a path to a zero-loss concept to optimize the line and maintain quality performance.

The Production Engineer role requires a strong capability to lead root cause analysis, ability to collaborate with multiple different teams and personalities, time management skills, engineering and design capability of smaller scope projects, data analysis skills, organizational skills, problem solving skills and willingness to step into and lead improvement activities for Production as they are identified.
