About This Role
This role blends hands-on electrical engineering with production line accountability inside a well-known Ethiopian FMCG manufacturer. You are not just fixing machines—you are expected to design, install, and improve electrical systems that directly impact bottling and packaging throughput. It suits a mid-career engineer who thrives in a factory-floor environment where downtime costs money and quick, precise troubleshooting is valued.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The posting signals a need for someone who can move between strategic planning (system design, installation) and urgent, hands-on repair work (emergency breakdowns). Rather than listing every certification, the company is looking for practical experience with industrial machinery control systems and a safety-first mindset. Three to five years in manufacturing or production engineering is implied, not just general electrical work.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your CV and cover letter on specific examples of machine uptime improvements, emergency repairs you led, or control system upgrades you implemented. Highlight any experience with beverage or food processing equipment, as this signals familiarity with hygiene-critical production environments. The employer will prioritize candidates who can describe a real situation where they diagnosed a fault under pressure and restored production quickly.
