Process Engineering Head, Bern and Gti Lead

The process engineering site lead is accountable to lead the process engineering teams on site: supporting day-to-day business with process engineering and scientific knowledge and resources; focused on site execution and support; site point of contact for engineering, focused on process, system and technologies. S(he) is accountable for execution of all verification/commissioning, qualification and validation deliverables, Process technology engineering and Manufacturing Science and Technology aspects. This role leads managers with site teams comprised of engineers, scientists, and project managers. Supports and understands all end-to-end functions, networks and needs from a manufacturing site perspective and coordinates global function integration on site.

The Global Technical Innovation global lead is a strategic position accountable to develop and implement technology & process innovation and modernization strategies for process engineering, positioning CSL for “Strategy 2030” and beyond. Responsible for the entire global Process engineering landscape and portfolio.

The focus will be on scouting processes and technologies for consideration in the modernization of CSL and evaluating benefits and suitability. S/He will develop Process Engineering Product/ Process/ Technology (PPT) advanced analytical processes and knowledge to build a centralized competence for simulations to support PPT robustness, improvement and innovation.

This role will develop innovative new processes and technologies internally but also in strong partnership with industry, external technology platforms and university collaborations.

**Responsibilities**:
Accountability (direct reporting) of all PE site functions in the space of Process, System and Technologies à Manufacturing Science and Technology, Process Technology, Validation, TT representation and C&Q (in house and external contracts)

SPOC person representing all engineering function in the space of day to day operations and supports the site and global project execution.

Responsible for development of PE managers and staff, including motivating in a manner that promotes the achievement of CSL’s business goals and objectives.

Establish performance goals and strategic/operational objectives for department.

Coach, counsel, and appraise performance of personnel.

Develop staff competencies & capabilities to enable sustained success and career development.

Promotes high employee engagement and a positive work environment.

Responsible for organizational design, budget resource requirements and staffing decisions.

Drives changes & implements improvements through monitoring production activity and outputs in partnership with manufacturing, to effect the following:

- Real time process monitoring and data analysis trending in partnership with manufacturing
- Understands process variability and robustness on the floor to provide proactive and early observation of negative process trends and looks to eliminate or mitigate potential future performance challenges
- Understands and constantly tracks manufacturing and quality’s “day to day” challenges to ensure best support and allow improved performance anywhere in the production cycle from plasma to final product. Works to improve yield, increase process robustness, reduce costs, improve cycle times, improve throughput capacity, work toward zero deviation strategy
- Being the process, system and technology SME and owner “eyes and ears” on the floor in routine production and engages global PE and engineering function effectively
- Deliver and execute, Validation, C&Q and TT on site for the customers Operations/VS and projects


Deploys continuous improvement efforts from either internal identified needs or in implementing common or centralized process engineering improvement and modernization efforts
- Partners with COE TT/LCM to develop and enhance “Quality by Design” (QbD) life cycle management. This includes efforts to document current processes, continuous improvement of the process, the maintenance of QbD tools with new knowledge, data and experiences generated in end-to-end operations
- Drives process engineering technology ownership - manages and retires, as needed on site (following global standards)
- Execute process improvement in the sites in partnership with global PE and engineering functions
- Identification and prioritization of potential improvements resulting out of routine manufacturing
- Strive for integration of full automation and technical industrial standards, such as Industry 4.0

Key process engineering partner on site to manage changes, issues & improvements
- Partners with Quality, Manufacturing & R&D run process investigations such as root cause investigation. Focus on deviation prediction, prevention an continuous improvement in the space of Investigation and CAPA.
- Supports changes introduced through material science integration such as new filters, resins, raw materials. Suppo
