You will be a TPM champion - through role modelling, coaching and facilitation.
In this role, you will work closely with Business-As-Usual (BAU) Maintenance leadership and technicians to build and refine maintenance strategies using TPM methodology. This collaboration is crucial to ensure that maintenance practices are aligned with robust TPM strategies. Your technical credibility in the maintenance space will be key to influencing and, where required, challenging current practices to bring them in-line with industry-leading TPM strategies.
The role is highly practical, focusing on:
Equipment reliability

You will be involved in hands-on activities that ensure the longevity and efficiency of our equipment. Your work will directly impact the reduction of downtime and improvement of asset performance, contributing to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our operations.
You will work with the global TPM Network team, helping to shape and develop the TPM approach for the future. You'll collaborate with regional and site Lean leads/process champions to ensure TPM isn’t a one-off event but becomes central to our purpose.
Essential Skills/Experience:
• Minimum 3 years’ experience working within a maintenance organisation as a Maintenance Engineer, or equivalent, with a recognised educational background (HNC/D and/or Degree)
• Demonstrable industry-related experience/proficiency in reliability-focused projects and programs with a track record of delivering sustainable business value

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
