Plant Digital Transformation

Job summary

We are looking for a digitally driven manufacturing professional to lead end-to-end digital transformation initiatives at our plant, leveraging technologies such as IoT, MES, AI/ML, automation and analytics to deliver measurable business impact.

Role Overview

We are looking for a digitally minded manufacturing professional who can bridge plant operations and digital technology to identify business problems, develop digital solutions and drive their implementation at scale.

The role will work closely with plant, manufacturing, engineering, supply chain and technology teams to identify opportunities where digital, data and emerging technologies can improve productivity, OEE, quality, cost, downtime and overall operational performance .

This is not a pure MIS/dashboarding role . The ideal candidate should have hands-on exposure to manufacturing/plant operations and a proven ability to lead digital solutions end-to-end — from identifying the opportunity through implementation, adoption and measurable business impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities across manufacturing and plant operations where digital technologies can solve business problems and improve operational performance.
• Lead digital transformation projects end-to-end — from problem identification, business case and solution design to implementation, adoption and scale-up.
• Partner with plant teams to understand shop-floor challenges, process losses, downtime, quality issues and productivity opportunities and translate them into digital use cases.
• Leverage technologies such as IoT/IIoT, MES, automation, AI/ML, analytics, Power BI, SAP and IT/OT integration to develop practical manufacturing solutions.
• Work with cross-functional teams including Manufacturing, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, IT and external technology partners to deliver digital initiatives.
• Establish appropriate data and performance metrics to identify problems, monitor solutions and support data-driven decision making .
• Drive shop-floor adoption and change management , ensuring digital solutions are embedded into daily ways of working.
• Demonstrate measurable impact through improvements in OEE, productivity, quality, downtime, cost, yield, capacity utilization and other plant KPIs.
• Identify successful pilots and drive their replication/scaling across lines, processes or plants.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in manufacturing/plant operations, manufacturing excellence, engineering, production or supply chain with strong exposure to digital transformation.
• Demonstrated experience of leading digital/Industry 4.0 initiatives , rather than only supporting dashboards or reporting automation.
• Strong understanding of shop-floor processes and manufacturing KPIs .
• Experience with one or more MES, IoT/IIoT, Industry 4.0, AI/ML, automation, Power BI, SAP, IT/OT integration or connected factory solutions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset with the ability to convert operational problems into digital use cases .
• Demonstrated ability to quantify business impact of digital initiatives.
• Strong stakeholder management and ability to work with both plant teams and technology teams .
• Experience in driving adoption, change management and scale-up of digital solutions.
