KDP is embarking on a multi-year transformation journey to modernize our network of 18 logistics sites. This initiative requires a strategic shift in our engineering and automation approach.

  • Supplier Collaboration: Work closely with suppliers to finalize automation system specifications, ensuring design and delivery align with established standards.
  • Testing and Validation: Conduct Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) to verify that automation systems meet performance specifications.
  • Site Support: Participate in equipment startup at manufacturing sites and update specifications based on insights gained during startup and technological advancements.
  • Continuous Learning: Maintain up-to-date professional and technical knowledge by attending workshops and reviewing industry publications, while adhering to all safety regulations.

Position requires up to 40% travel
