Do you think feeding the world is a worthwhile goal? Our people do!
The Tipper Tie location in Glinde is a key innovation and production hub dedicated to delivering advanced closure and packaging solutions for the global food processing industry. At its core, the site specializes in high-performance clipping machines, consumables, and integrated automation systems designed to ensure product safety, consistency, and efficiency across applications such as meat, poultry, dairy, and plant-based products.

🔍 About the Role
Responsibilities
We are looking for a hands-on Production Engineer / Mechanical Engineer who will:
•
Optimize and maintain our existing production equipment and processes
•
Design and update machine parts and convert old / hand drawings into proper 3D models
•
Drive process improvements, automation and innovation projects

Act as a technical bridge between production, operations, quality and sales, ensuring our products and capabilities match market and customer needs
The role is almost 100% on-site in Glinde, working very closely with operators and mechanics on the shop floor.
🧠 What You’ll Do
In this role you are the technical backbone of our clip production in Glinde. You turn old machines and hand drawings into modern, efficient, well-documented equipment. You spend your time where the action is – directly in production with operators and mechanics – and use your mechanical know‑how and SolidWorks skills to improve machines, reduce waste, and prepare our site for the next generation of automation and products.
Typical daily to‑do’s
•
Be on the shop floor, talk with operators/mechanics, understand issues and ideas
•
Analyze downtime, scrap and bottlenecks and define concrete improvement measures
•
Use SolidWorks to model and update machine parts and convert old/hand drawings
•
Plan and support modifications and upgrades of existing presses and equipment
•
Evaluate and implement automation/innovation ideas with internal and external partners
•
Align with quality and sales so that machine capabilities match customer and market needs
•
Document changes and ensure that drawings and technical data are always up to date
🛠️ What You Bring
We encourage each of our 12,000+ employees to bring their unique self to work and aim to make everyone feel recognized, valued and free to explore their potential. We’re committed to creating an inclusive culture and welcoming new colleagues from all walks of life. You will recognize in yourself that you:
•
Have an engineering degree (or equivalent technical background), for example: Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Automation / Electrical Engineering
•
Located in or near Glinde
•
Hands-on experience with industrial machinery / production lines
•
Strong experience with 3D CAD specifically SolidWorks (or similar)
•
Ability to design and modify machine parts and assemblies
•
Experience with production/industrial machinery (maintenance, improvement, or design)
•
Able to analyze and improve production processes (productivity, quality, waste reduction, uptime)
•
Fluent German (daily communication with operators, mechanics, and internal stakeholders)
🌟 Nice to Have
Experience with:
•
Presses and forming of aluminum or similar metal-forming processes
•
Automation / robotics and integration of such systems into production lines
•
Project management with external engineering firms, machine suppliers, or automation partners
•
Food processing / food packaging industry (understanding of sector-specific requirements)
•
Experience in modernizing old machines and drawings (e.g., converting hand drawings to 3D models, upgrading legacy equipment)
•
Exposure to continuous improvement methods (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma – even at a basic level)
•
Ability to support quality with simple fixtures or devices to speed up measurements and checks
