The Arnott's Group Hiring! Full Time Lead Engineer in Selangor - Ricebowl

Engineering Lead Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

We’re the team helping Arnott’s win in Asia. Campbell Malaysia is the Asia hub for The Arnott’s Group, based in Kuala Lumpur, shaping strategy and building our footprint across the region.

We’re behind brands found in real kitchens and real snack drawers, from Campbell’s and Prego to Kimball & Cheong Chan, plus Swanson, GoodTime, and Nyam Nyam. We’re also part of the Arnott’s family that includes icons like Tim Tam, Shapes, and Farm Bake Cookies.

The Reality of the Role

This isn't an office-bound engineering job; it is a hands-on, floor-level leadership mandate. We are looking for a decisive operator to halt declining line performance and provide immediate technical direction to our maintenance team. Your primary focus will be taking ownership of active plant improvement projects and resolving compounding bottlenecks, all while fiercely protecting Campbell Malaysia food safety and environmental standards.

What You Will Accomplish

• The 30-Day Mark: Audit and take complete control of the current line maintenance schedule to establish a new baseline for technical direction.
• The 90-Day Mark: Identify and permanently remove at least one major operational bottleneck or quality constraint currently slowing down production.
• Project Ownership: Take over the management of the plant's currently active continuous improvement (CI) project, driving it back on track for both time and budget.
• People Management: Implement a formalized coaching and performance appraisal cadence for all direct reports to stabilize and empower the floor team.
• Absolute Compliance: Ensure all process engineering and maintenance activities strictly adhere to FSSC, HACCP, and OSHA regulations.

What You Bring (The Non-Negotiables)

• The Core Requirement: You must have proven, hands-on technical troubleshooting experience combined with a track record of direct people management on a fast-paced manufacturing floor.
• The Step-Up Opportunity: We are looking for drive. We are open to hungry candidates stepping into their first formal leadership role, provided you have the agility to navigate multiple stakeholders independently and adapt rapidly.
• Technical Depth: A deep understanding of hygienic engineering and food safety compliance within a continuous operation environment.
• Translation Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills, with the unique ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable operational steps for the floor team.
• Qualifications: A Degree in Engineering (preferably Mechanical or Chemical) and a minimum of 3 years of technical experience within a food manufacturing facility.
