Drive Innovation and Growth in Sustainable Materials
This is your opportunity to play a key role in launching a breakthrough plastic wire product at a well-funded international manufacturer. Based near Treviso, just 25 minutes from Venice, you’ll combine hands-on engineering with commercial influence — and step into a clear leadership track.
You'll join a newly acquired site that’s ramping up operations fast: a second line is launching by year-end, with a third planned. Backed by a joint venture and private equity funding, this role is part of a broader global expansion into sustainable solutions.
In this role, you will:
* Reconfigure and optimise baling machines to support plastic wire (e.g., adapting twist settings, guiding systems)
* Lead technical trials and product adaptation efforts with clients across Europe and North America
* Provide training to internal teams and customer partners on polymer processing and machinery usage
* Support plant expansion and transition into a leadership position over 1–2 years
* Collaborate cross-functionally to help shift clients from steel to innovative plastic alternatives
You’ll need:
* 2–5 years’ experience in polymer processing or plastic extrusion (or a closely related field)
* A degree in Chemical, Industrial, or Mechanical Engineering
* Commercial acumen and the confidence to engage clients on technical solutions
* Fluent English; Italian and/or German are assets but not required
Benefits:
* Clear path to become Plant Manager within 2–3 years
* Involvement in a global growth strategy, with travel opportunities
* Competitive salary, retention package, and potential management equity at business exit (planned in 3–4 years)
* Strong mentorship from international leadership and JV partners
