ph3Purpose /h3 pThe MES Engineer ensures the reliable implementation, operation and continuous improvement of the Manufacturing Execution Systems across the manufacturing sites globally. The aim is to guarantee that production processes are supported by stable, compliant, and well‑integrated MES solutions that meet the needs of plant operations, quality, and supply chain. /p h3Place in the Organisation /h3 pReports to: bMES Application Owner /b /p pCollaborates with: /p ul liLocal Plant and Production Managers /li liEnd User (shopfloor workers) /li liProcess and Quality Engineers /li liOT System Engineers and OT SCADA Engineers /li liIT Infrastructure and IT Application teams (SAP) /li liRegional Operational Excellence team /li liExternal MES vendors and system integrators /li liGlobal and regional project teams /li /ul pBack up: Other MES Engineer(s) within the OT MES team /p h3Dimensions of the Job /h3 pThe MES Engineer operates in a multinational chemical manufacturing environment with multiple production sites across different countries and regions. The role combines day‑to‑day operational support with project‑based implementation work. /p pThe position requires regular interaction with plant‑floor users (operators, shift leaders, production managers) as well as corporate IT and engineering functions. Travel to local plants for deployments, upgrades, and on‑site support is expected (estimated 20–40% of working time, depending on the project portfolio). /p pThe role is both operational and project‑oriented, with a strong focus on user support, change management, system reliability, local plant implementations, and compliance with chemical industry regulations and customer requirements. It also requires professional coordinating of external vendors and system integrators, reviewing deliverables, and managing escalations. /p h3Decision‑Making Powers /h3 pThe MES Engineer may propose technical solutions and configuration changes within the MES domain. Changes to production‑critical systems require approval from the MES Application Owner. /p pThe MES Engineer has authority to prioritise and resolve day‑to‑day support tickets within agreed service levels. /p h3Key Result Areas /h3 pbRESULT AREA 1: User Support and Incident Resolution /b /p ul liProvide second‑line and third‑line support for MES‑related incidents and user queries.
