The Role

This position offers a talented engineer or scientist the opportunity to work with Wienerberger plc, the world’s largest manufacturer of ceramic bricks and tiles. It is a modern manufacturing organisation with highly-driven teams intent on improving productivity and adopting the latest technologies to manufacture the highest-quality ceramic products.

You will be responsible for a technical R&D project which will support the Company in its aims to consider alternative raw materials treatment processes for lower-energy, lower-emissions ceramic manufacture. You will have the opportunity to engage with senior management at Wienerberger to successfully deliver the project which will have a significant positive impact on the business and will reduce the environmental impact of the production of a range of ceramic products.

You will be expected to be the primary manager and driver of the project. Previous experience of project management and the ability to work well in a team, as well as being able to work independently using your own initiative, is therefore essential.  Excellent communication and IT skills are also essential.
