About This Role

This is a plant-floor leadership position within a diversified investment group, meaning you would likely carry full accountability for production output, machinery uptime, and workforce discipline at a single manufacturing site. The packaging experience preference suggests the factory produces consumer or industrial goods where finishing and dispatch quality directly affect customer relationships. It suits an engineer who has moved steadily from technical work into people and process management and now wants complete ownership of a facility's performance.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The ten-year threshold with four years at supervisory level signals the company wants someone who has already made the transition from engineer to manager — not someone still learning to lead a shift. The packaging note is a quiet filter: candidates without it are not excluded, but those with it likely understand the final stage where losses, delays, and quality complaints concentrate. Naming industrial and mechanical engineering points to a role focused on equipment reliability, line efficiency, and maintenance planning rather than pure production administration.

How to Approach This Application

Because the employer asks for in-person registration with original documents, presentation and organization at the HR office matter more than usual — arrive with a complete, clearly ordered file and a concise verbal summary of your supervisory track record ready. Emphasize measurable outcomes you owned: downtime reduction, output growth, cost savings, or team restructuring. If you have any packaging line exposure, state it explicitly with context, as it may be the deciding differentiator among otherwise similar candidates.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited to a seasoned manufacturing engineer with a decade of plant experience who is ready for sole command of a factory. Expect a competitive pool, since senior engineering management roles in Addis are limited and attract strong internal and diaspora applicants.
