Mário Pereira

Relocated to Ireland for a planned career transition focused on professional growth, business English development, and exposure to the European engineering environment, while building local work experience through a customer service role at Tesco and attending engineering industry events.

Industrial manufacturer of FIBC for fertilizer, logistics, and heavy industry sectors. Led full process engineering ownership during operational restructuring, defining technical parameters, production sequencing, machine setup standards, and shop-floor execution across extrusion, lamination, printing, and packaging. Re-engineered legacy manufacturing flows by analysing material behaviour, machine capability, and process variability, replacing informal practices with standardised SOPs and process sheets. Conducted advanced raw material testing and validation (mechanical resistance, creep, load behaviour, durability, environmental exposure) to ensure product reliability across different industrial applications. Optimised critical processes focusing on yield, scrap reduction, cycle time, and process stability, directly impacting cost, quality, and delivery performance. Trained and technically upskilled operators and supervisors, improving process discipline, setup accuracy, and adherence to quality standards. Led product development initiatives introducing UV- and heat-resistant compounds, extending product service life and improving competitiveness in demanding industrial environments. Established production KPIs and process controls to identify deviations, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities, supporting data-driven decision-making. Key achievements: ✔ Reduced operational losses and labour costs through process standardisation. ✔ Increased product competitiveness with innovative technical features. ✔ Strengthened a culture of continuous improvement and manufacturing excellence.

● Oversaw all stages of cable production, from extrusion and assembly to testing and final delivery, ensuring technical accuracy and product reliability. ● Implemented process improvements in umbilical cable manufacturing, optimising workflows, reducing waste, and enhancing productivity. ● Developed and maintained technical documentation, ensuring precision in manufacturing procedures and compliance with safety and quality regulations. ● Supervised cross-functional teams across production, maintenance, and quality for the manufacturing of high-performance umbilical cables used in offshore oil operations. ● Developed detailed manuals and standardised procedures to ensure consistency, compliance, and seamless operations across shifts. ● Delivered operator training programs and enforced best manufacturing practices aligned with ISO 9001:2015. ● Led cost-reduction initiatives by testing alternative raw materials and streamlining process flows. ● Participated in internal and external audits, ensuring traceability, compliance, and client satisfaction. Key achievements: ✔ Led optimisation and documentation initiatives that were not only implemented but actively embraced by frontline teams, resulting in measurable improvements in quality and productivity. ✔ Reduced production losses from 15% to 3% by improving processes and material usage. ✔ Supported $ 30 M+ international projects by conducting critical reviews of technical designs and adapting production setups. ✔ Successfully supported global oil & gas clients with customised high-quality cable solutions.
