If you are a precision machining professional with a sharp commercial mindset and the ambition to build something exceptional, this is your moment.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-precision machining business end-to-end - from strategy and P&L to technology, talent and capacity - while partnering with global teams to introduce new products and capabilities into Malaysia. The impact you create will be visible, lasting and genuinely significant.

The Role

Here is what you will be leading:

• Scale and transform a high-precision machining operation, with full ownership of strategy, commercial performance and profitability
• Own P&L, productivity, quality, capacity planning and delivery performance
• Deliver technical leadership across CNC, milling, turning, multi-axis machining, tooling and fixturing
• Drive new product introductions and manufacturing transfers from global sites into Malaysia
• Shape the automation, capital investment and capacity roadmap for long-term competitiveness
• Champion Lean Manufacturing, root-cause analysis and a culture of continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

A rare combination of technical depth and commercial sharpness:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
• 10+ years in precision machining, with senior leadership accountability
• Proven P&L ownership within a machining or manufacturing environment
• Strong experience in NPI, industrialisation and cross-border manufacturing transfers
• Background in semiconductor, aerospace or other high-precision manufacturing sectors (preferred)
• Entrepreneurial leadership style - someone who challenges convention and turns complexity into results
• Skilled at influencing and aligning global, cross-functional stakeholders
• Solid grounding in Lean principles, process capability and operational excellence
