Job Description
Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International?
Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It Uniquely Yours.
In world-class manufacturing, we don't just move product; we engineer precision. We are looking for a high-caliber Process Engineer-a strategic problem-solver who lives at the intersection of data, technology, and people.
Borrowing from the best-in-class principles of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), you won't just be "fixing machines." You will be the technical architect of a production system, designing out losses before they occur and building a culture of zero-defect mindsets. If you have mastered the rigors of Lean manufacturing and are ready to own the P&L impact of your technical decisions, this is your stage.
How you will contribute
You will:
  • Provide training on CI tools and techniques. You will also help departments follow our established daily management system (DMS)
  • Help teams collect data or extract it from the system to support CI activities and the DMS
  • Facilitate root-cause analysis to address identified losses and departmental KPI scorecard gaps
  • Establish new work standards to sustain improvement
  • Train and qualify colleagues on CI tools and new work standards resulting from CI activities

A desire to drive your future and accelerate your career and the following experience and knowledge:
  • CI and high-performance work systems experience
  • Strong facilitation and communication skills to support team discussions on CI activities
  • Application of lean and/or TPM tools in a factory or operations environment
  • Ability to manipulate and validate data in manual and automated systems
  • Mastery of Excel and other data analytics tools
  • Organized and disciplined to support and educate on the DMS process
  • Logical and structured thinking to extract insights from data

More about this role
Your Mission: Bridge Strategy and Execution
As the technical anchor of your production value stream, you will translate high-level business goals into shop-floor reality.
  • Master the Loss Tree: You will own the "Zero Loss" journey. By leveraging Shoplogix and advanced analytics, you'll hunt down chronic losses, categorize them, and execute the 90-day sprints that turn red metrics into green.

  • Architect of Standards: You aren't just following SOPs; you are defining them. You will lead the implementation of Centerlining, SMED, and Autonomous Maintenance (AM) pillars to ensure our "Best Day" becomes our "Every Day."

  • The Coach-Player Hybrid: High-performance CPG requires technical empathy. You will mentor front-line associates, elevating their capability to perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and own their equipment, effectively scaling your expertise through others.

  • Vertical Start-ups: You will play a lead role in Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) for new innovations, ensuring that R&D breakthroughs transition seamlessly into high-speed manufacturing reality.

What Sets You Apart
The Foundations:
  • Experience: 3+ years in a high-speed manufacturing environment (Food & Beverage, Pharma, or Beauty preferred) where TPM/Lean isn't just a buzzword, but a way of life.

  • Technical Rigor: You are fluent in the DMAIC roadmap and can navigate a Loss Tree with ease. You don't just find problems; you find the root of the root

The Edge (Preferred):
  • Leadership DNA: 3+ years of leading people (direct or indirect). You know how to influence a veteran operator and a senior plant manager in the same hour.

  • Digital Fluency: You treat data like a competitive advantage. Proficiency in Power BI, SAP, and Minitab allows you to tell stories with numbers.

  • Certifications: Six Sigma Green or Black Belt.

Education:
Education: A Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, or Industrial preferred) or a highly technical Supply Chain degree.
Job specific requirements:
Travel requirements: Yes
Work schedule: Monday - Friday 1st shift 7am-3pm
Salary and Benefits:
The base salary range for this position is $77,600 to $106,700; the exact salary depends on several factors such as experience, skills, education and location. In addition to base salary, this position is eligible for participation in a highly competitive bonus program with possibility for overachievement based on performance and company results.
In addition, Mondelez International offers the following benefits: health insurance, wellness and family support programs, life and disability insurance, retirement savings plans, paid leave programs, education related programs, paid holidays and vacation time. Some of these benefits have eligibility requirements. Many of these benefits are subsidized or fully paid for by the company.
