Coordinate manufacturing User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring realistic test scenarios, effective defect management, retesting, and readiness before go-live.

Act as the manufacturing focal point during MES deployment, coordinating resolution of master-data, process, workflow, and integration issues.

Provide hands-on shop-floor support during go-live and hypercare to minimize production disruption and ensure operational stabilization.

Drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions for recurring manufacturing, master-data, user-execution, and integration issues.

Partner with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, MES, IT, and site teams while maintaining alignment with the approved global MES template.

Support MES expansion to additional production areas and improve deployment practices using lessons learned, standardized templates, and playbooks.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Production Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

5-8 years of experience in Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Operational Excellence, Digital Manufacturing, Program Management, or related areas.

Strong knowledge of manufacturing master data, including BOMs, routings, work centers, operations, resources, and production versions.

Experience with MES, ERP, PLM, or comparable manufacturing-system deployments strongly preferred.

Experience with MES deployment activities, including readiness assessments, data cleansing, UAT, go-live, hypercare, and stabilization.

Experience with SAP and Dassault Systèmes Apriso preferred.

Fluent business English; additional EMEA languages are an advantage.

Skills:

Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, shop-floor execution, production planning, quality controls, traceability, and standard work.

Understanding of ERP-to-MES data flows and Industry 4.0/digital manufacturing concepts.

Strong structured problem-solving skills using methods such as RCA, 5 Why, 8D, A3, or DMAIC.

Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify data inconsistencies and drive corrective actions.

Hands-on, shop-floor-oriented approach with the ability to remain structured during go-live and production disruptions.

Strong stakeholder management and ability to influence across functions, sites, and cultures.

Strong communication and collaboration skills across Operations, Engineering, and IT teams.

Comfortable with changing deployment priorities and frequent travel across EMEA.
