Asset Management Senior Engineer

About the role

The operational asset management specialist plays a key role in helping manufacturing sites reliably deliver products to patients by improving how physical assets are managed and operated. Working closely with site teams, he supports the deployment of asset management standards across work management, operational reliability and reliability by design, calibration management, and engineering store management. His contribution increases asset availability, reduce operational losses, and embed compliant, data-driven ways of working. Through hands-on collaboration at site level and effective use of EAM systems and digital tools, he enables sites to secure service to patients, improves cost management and asset usage while maintaining the highest standards of Quality, EHS, and GMP compliance. This role is practical and impact-focused: He helps turn standards into daily operational practices that create measurable and sustainable value for the business. Each specialist is expected to master a combination of 2 of the first 4 domains and brings a demonstrated level of competencies in the 4th level, supporting their primary 2 specialties.

• Work closely with Quality, Engineering, and Maintenance teams to ensure compliant and efficient calibration execution
• Contribute to the reliability governance as lead to animate the calibration community of practices
• Use digital tools and AI to enable metrics and insights, accelerating decision making & simplification of data analysis, consistency across all manufacturing groups

Engineering Stores

• Master engineering stores and spare parts management processes, including critical spares, stock strategies, and obsolescence management
• Align CMMS equipment structures, BOMs, spare parts, and maintenance plans
• Optimize inventory levels, cash exposure, and risk while increasing parts availability
• Link reliability analysis with spare parts strategies to reduce MTTR, prevent failures
• Use CMSS data and digital tools (AI, Python, etc.) to deliver insights driving actions
• Animate engineering stores COP driving continuous improvement and capabilities development across all sites
• Use scorecards & insights to drive cross site benchmarks

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

• Acted as a single point of contact for site Engineering teams and operational leads in his field of specialties
