JOB DESCRIPTION:
Abbott is about the power of health. For more than 135 years, Abbott has been helping people reach their potential — because better health allows people and communities to achieve more. Joining us, you can shape your career as you shape the future of healthcare.
With a diverse, global network serving customers in more than 160 countries, we create new solutions — across the spectrum of health, around the world, for all stages of life. Whether it’s next-generation diagnostics, life-changing devices, science-based nutrition, or novel reformulations, we are advancing some of the most innovative and revolutionary technologies in healthcare, helping people live their best lives through better health.
The Opportunity:
As a result of strong business growth, industry-leading product development in the biosensor business and a long-term commitment to high volume manufacturing in Witney, we have an exciting opportunity for an Engineering Coordinator to join our Facilities Engineering team.
Responsible for managing the Maximo maintenance management system, you will work closely with the Facilities Project Engineers and wider Facilities teams in the timely and effective scheduling of maintenance activities and provision of general support activities.
Whether you are monitoring and reporting on equipment performance, coordinating Facilities Engineering activities, scheduling preventative maintenance timetables, or allocating resources to priority reactive tasks, you will engage and collaborate with the Facilities team to provide a seamless service to our wider business at Witney. You will look to improve the usage of Maximo across the scope of the system, thus supporting improvements in efficiency, consistency and accuracy across engineering operations.
About You:
To be successful, you will need to have completed a recognised Engineering apprenticeship or have a higher education qualification (such as a HNC, HND or degree) in a related subject. Previous experience in a manufacturing or facilities environment is preferred but not essential. Experience of a Maximo system (or similar) is advantageous but not essential as training will be provided. You will however be confident at using the MS Office suite, with the ability to prepare reports and similar documentation.
Continuous Improvement is an important part of our site’s culture, so you will also have the opportunity to propose or contribute to initiatives and projects that improve our operations. You will also need to be able to demonstrate a track record of accomplishing your objectives, working proactively, and managing your own time effectively. You will be organised by nature, and competent in planning work schedules to best meet varying business demands. You will be able to work independently whilst also adept at interacting or collaborating with various colleagues and contacts as required.
What we offer:
This is a fantastic opportunity to become a valued member of our highly skilled Engineering team working at the forefront of biowearable technology.
Abbott offers a benefits platform that provides security to you and your family. As you’d expect from an innovative global health care company, we offer a competitive range of benefits including excellent salaries, a class-leading defined contribution pension scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, subsidized canteen and a flexible benefits scheme. Here at Witney, we also like to help our employees live life to the fullest, and therefore we offer a range of optional initiatives for you to get involved in, including local community STEM outreach, couch to 5k campaigns, yoga and more!
