Industrial Plant Engineering Manager

At Wetaca, we cook so that eating well is a possible routine for most, not a burden or a privilege.

We are homemade food, made with purpose and designed for everyday life. Varied, balanced dishes cooked with market ingredients and the time each recipe requires, without additives or artifices.

We are in constant growth, and that compels us to continue building a more solid, efficient, and scalable operation. Growing does not mean improvising, but rather industrializing well, with control, technical judgment, and a focus on quality.

We are currently looking to bring in an Industrial Plant Engineering Manager for our plant, a key figure to lead investment and transformation projects for our facilities, with a special focus on industrial civil works, plant expansions, and the incorporation of new machinery and productive technology.

If you are a dynamic, proactive person with a technical vision and leadership capacity, and you have experience managing civil works projects, plant engineering, and industrial installations in production environments, this opportunity may interest you.

As Industrial Plant Engineering Manager, you will lead investment and transformation projects for our facilities, from technical definition and planning to their execution and commissioning, ensuring the integration of new solutions without compromising the continuity of the production operation.
