• Evaluate alternative technologies and drive innovation within the solution design function.

• Ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and performance standards across all designs.

• Hands‑on capability with layout and modelling tools (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, or similar).

• Proven experience designing automated systems end‑to‑end.

• Understanding of material flow, warehouse processes, and operational KPIs.

• Ability to lead and develop a high‑performing technical team.

• Comfortable working with commercial teams and presenting to customers.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret operational data and build robust models.
