About This Role
This is a senior operational leadership role within one of Ethiopia’s largest agro-processing firms, based at a key abattoir facility in Gondar. As Head of the Technical Division, you will oversee the engineering and technical functions that keep processing lines running, ensuring equipment reliability, maintenance systems, and production efficiency. It suits an experienced engineer who can manage teams, coordinate with production and quality departments, and drive continuous improvement in a high-volume meat processing environment.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The focus on Industrial Engineering, Industrial Technology, or Mechanical Engineering signals that the company needs someone who understands process flow, equipment layout, and preventive maintenance in a factory setting. The requirement for 5–8 years of experience implies they want a professional who has moved beyond hands-on technical work into supervisory or managerial responsibility, likely in manufacturing or food processing. A postgraduate degree is not explicitly mentioned, but the role’s seniority suggests that practical leadership experience and technical problem-solving ability will weigh heavily.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should highlight specific examples of managing technical teams in a production or processing plant, particularly in FMCG or agro-industry. Emphasize experience with maintenance planning, spare parts inventory management, and any familiarity with cold chain or meat processing equipment. If you have led projects to reduce downtime or improve equipment efficiency, make that central to your cover letter. The employer will also value knowledge of safety and hygiene standards relevant to food processing.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a mid-career engineer with at least five years of supervisory experience in a manufacturing or agro-processing plant. It is likely to attract strong local interest given ELFORA’s reputation, so candidates with direct meat or food processing experience will have an edge.
