Team Leader - Service Engineering
Southend-On-Sea, Essex, United Kingdom
I led a team of Engineers in the support and development of repair processes for medical devices across a global company. The team were engaged in the full life cycle management of medical devices including R&D (design for service), new repair introduction, tooling development, process development, technical documentation and operational support. I worked with stakeholders and teams across the business using a customer centric approach to lead the delivery of projects and technical solutions which innovated products and processes whilst maintaining the demanding quality standards of the medical industry.I was proud to Lead, motivate and develop a team of Engineers and Engineering Apprentices to: Deliver operational support to UI repair operations – achieving consistent annual cost savings and improvements.I managed the Process and Tooling development projects to deliver improvement and cost reduction across EMEA in collaboration with teams throughout the region. I created and embedded ‘Design for Service’ procedures into the overarching R&D product development process. This ensured products were serviceable when entering the market with risk assessed repair procedures and documentation. The team managed New Repair Introduction to the global Olympus service business and provided technical support to global service centres.
