Process Engineer – Glass Production (Israel)

About the company

Our client is a well-established Israeli industrial group with decades of experience and a strong market reputation. As part of its expansion, it is opening a new, state-of-the-art architectural glass production facility. Machinery is currently being installed, and production starts in a few months.
The role

We are looking for a Glass Process Engineer to help bring a new plant to life. The facility will include automated lines for cutting, edging, tempering, lamination, and insulating glass units (IGU), plus digital printing on glass. In the first phase the team will be very small (one or two employees), so this is a hands-on role for someone proactive who enjoys building processes from scratch. You will work in a matrix structure, supporting production staff and responding to requests from the Plant Manager.
Key responsibilities

Support the plant start-up: define and implement production processes, standards, and quality procedures

Monitor daily production, analyze process issues, and implement corrective actions

Solve technical problems and find practical solutions, e.g. adjusting glass parameters to meet customer requirements for commercial building projects

Optimize the laminating line and digital printing process

Work with the maintenance team: you don’t need to be a maintenance specialist, but you must understand how the machines work

Contribute to quality management and continuous improvement

Prepare data and reports for weekly and monthly reviews

Recommend investments and improvements for the plant

Requirements

Experience in the glass industry: ideally 10 years, minimum 5

Background in architectural/building glass (priority); automotive glass is a second-priority advantage

Strong knowledge of automated glass processes, especially lamination and digital printing on glass; solid understanding of cutting, edging, tempering, and IGU

Experience in quality management and process improvement

Strong technical and analytical skills

Proactive, solution-oriented approach; comfortable in a small team and a matrix structure

Fluent English, spoken and written (mandatory)

AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and strong MS Office skills (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)

ERP and computerized production systems: a significant advantage
