- Prepare engineering documentation, including CAD models, drawings, BOMs, SOPs, work instructions, and maintenance procedures.
- Coordinate with local vendors, fabricators, contractors, and equipment suppliers.
- Drive Lean Manufacturing, 5S, process improvements, and train production operators on safe manufacturing practices.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering (Diploma with strong relevant experience may be considered).

- Strong shop-floor troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and problem-solving skills.
- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, 5S, PFMEA, preventive maintenance, and production documentation.
- Good communication skills specially in English.
Preferred Industry Background
Candidates from water purifiers, water dispensers, RO/UF systems, HVAC & refrigeration, pumps, industrial equipment, consumer appliances, consumer durables, or other electromechanical assembly manufacturing industries are highly preferred.
