In this role, you will support the global production of plastic components for Novo Nordisk’s various pen device systems.

•    Safeguard the integrity of copy mould concepts and baseline processes.
•    Execute engineering initiatives, process improvements, and technical projects to continuously enhance processes and mould performance.
•    Share best practices with colleagues to improve working standards and promote Lean methodologies.
•    Maintain strong relationships with stakeholders both inside and outside the organization.

•    A bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering, or a similar technical field. We also welcome applications from recent graduates with a strong desire to learn, as well as candidates with a toolmaker background or similar.
•    Hands-on experience in an engineering role within plastic component production in a GMP environment, with in-depth knowledge of injection moulding.

As a person, you have exceptional stakeholder management skills, allowing you to communicate clearly and effectively with all parties involved.

Your natural curiosity drives you to challenge the status quo, always seeking opportunities for improvement and innovation.
