Do you want to combine analysis, engineering, and improvement work in a role where you can make a real difference in production? Habia Cable is now seeking an Operational Excellence Engineer who wants to help develop production in Söderfors. Here you'll have a central role close to operations, with the opportunity to influence working methods, solve complex problems, and create improvements that have lasting impact.
Your Responsibilities
As an Operational Excellence Engineer, you will become the production specialist in continuous improvement and structured problem-solving. You will work closely with the production manager, production supervisors, production technicians, and maintenance to strengthen the operation's ability to deliver with high safety, quality, productivity, delivery performance, and operational reliability.
You will analyze production data and identify losses, variations, bottlenecks, and recurring disruptions. Based on facts, you will prioritize and drive improvements in areas such as cycle times, changeover times, capacity utilization, OTD, quality, scrap, and rework. You will lead cross-functional analyses and workshops from clear problem formulation and verified root cause to permanent solution and tracked results.
In your work, you will use Lean and Six Sigma as well as other relevant methods. You will analyze, propose, and implement improvements in close collaboration with production, maintenance, and quality, as well as with other departments in the value stream.
An important part of the role is to support and coach production supervisors and production technicians in analysis, improvement work, and standardized working methods. You will formulate clear assignments, guide the choice of method, quality assure analyses, and follow up to ensure that initiatives deliver the desired results. The role has no direct personnel responsibility, but you will have a clear functional mandate to initiate improvement projects, gather cross-functional teams, and request the data needed to drive the work forward.
Your Profile

You may also have built equivalent competence through relevant work experience. You have several years of experience in manufacturing industry and have worked with one or more areas such as production development, Lean, Six Sigma, operational reliability, production technology, quality, maintenance, or industrialization.

You dare to challenge established ways of working and combine a structured approach with collaborative teamwork.
