About the Company
With over 40 years' experience providing advanced bespoke injection moulding solutions to the global pharma and medical sector, our client is a trusted partner for innovation and speed-to-market in healthcare.
With manufacturing operations in Ireland and USA, the business collaborates closely with customers to deliver customised, high-quality solutions to the pharma and bio pharma industry.

Key Responsibilities
• Support day-to-day production engineering activities at the Wicklow site.
• Work with cross-functional teams to introduce, optimise, and validate manufacturing processes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in quality, efficiency, and cost.
• Provide technical support for troubleshooting process and equipment issues.
• Assist in the implementation of new technologies and scale-up of new product lines.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory and quality standards (ISO, GMP, etc.).
Requirements
• Degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Biomedical, or related Engineering discipline.
• 3 years' experience in manufacturing, ideally within the medical device or regulated industry (placement / internship experience considered).
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Good communication and teamwork abilities.
• Enthusiastic and adaptable, with a willingness to learn and take on a broad scope of responsibilities.
What's on Offer
• Opportunity to work in a high-growth site with global backing.
• Broad exposure to multiple functions, processes, and leadership.
• Hands-on learning and development in a collaborative, supportive environment.
• Clear potential for progression as the site expands.
