Job Description
Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelez 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.

Certifications: Six Sigma Green or Black Belt.
