Engineering, procurement, manufacturing and logistics roles

Engineering
There are two key groups within the Engineering Technology and Capital Management group.

Technical and pharmaceutical engineering
Developing cutting-edge, robust, and cost-effective manufacturing technologies, you'll work with R&D colleagues and others across the Global Manufacturing and Supply (GMS) network to build a comprehensive awareness of the fundamental sciences governing all our processes.

Capital management
You'll proactively manage capital expenditure by prioritising major projects and purchases, as well as forecasting and managing annual capital expenditure.

Procurement and contract manufacturing
Our Global Procurement function spends £8.6 billion every year to improve quality, drive down costs and ensure secure supply. In doing so, we've pioneered the use of eSourcing via online auctions to buy over £2.5 billion of goods and services. As a result, the effective management of contract manufacturers who deliver finished products will be central to your role.

Manufacturing strategy
This group focuses on product supply and packaging strategies, the development and implementation of low cost supply plans, product sourcing, and the management of lifecycle principles and network efficiencies.

Global logistics

The global logistics team manages our supply chain by:

• enabling supply and demand across the nodes in the chain
• providing warehousing and transportation
• managing pack and component portfolios

To meet our ambition of becoming a leader in supply chain management, our strategy is to simplify our supply chain though the creation of standardised ways of working supported by single global IT systems. To enable the 6,000 people who work in logistics at our sites and markets around the world to meet this ambition and to perform their roles effectively, we provide them with policies, procedures, information and education and training.
