Engineering Technical Expert - #145698
Ipsen
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Wrexham
Contract type: Full time

At Ipsen, we are committed to improving the lives of patients, with a special focus on advancing neuroscience therapies. Our Wrexham site is a vital part of this mission, delivering cutting-edge solutions in a dynamic and collaborative environment. We are proud to be Great Place to Work certified and a Shingo Bronze Medallion holder, reflecting our commitment to excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
With a recent £24 million investment in the site and a further £86.4 million expansion underway, there has never been a more exciting time to join us. If you are passionate about making an impact and want to be part of a team that values growth, innovation, and excellence, then Ipsen could be where you thrive!
As a Technical Expert, you won’t just maintain equipment — you’ll lead the charge in making it better. Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you’ll be the go-to authority for your area, driving performance, reliability, and innovation across both GMP and non-GMP assets.
We’re looking for someone who’s not satisfied with quick fixes. You’ll ask why a failure occurred, dig deep into root causes, and implement solutions that prevent recurrence. Your mindset should be one of continuous improvement, always seeking smarter, safer, and more efficient ways to work.
This is a leadership role without direct reports — ideal for someone who leads by example, takes full ownership and accountability, and collaborates cross-functionally to deliver results. You’ll influence others, guide technical direction, and champion best practices in maintenance and reliability.
