The primary purpose of this role is to focus on identifying and implementing process improvement opportunities in BSIs Product Certification test laboratories, using Lean Six Sigma, 5S, and Design Thinking methodologies – focusing on operational efficiency improvements.
As part of the future of product testing, traditional physical testing may be replaced with, or complemented by, digital testing techniques. The scope of this role would also include process improvement opportunities related to the implementation of digital testing.
This role will also focus on process improvements elsewhere across BSI, which may be physical processes, or fully procedural/system based.
This is a hybrid role with regular on-site work at other BSI Locations, particularly at our Hemel Hempstead and Loughborough sites.
