What you'll do:

• Drive cross-functional alignment across all post-order phases to deliver on safety, quality, cost, and schedule
• Deploy the Target Operating Model and lead the SIOP process to maximise factory efficiency and profitability

Delivery & Flow Management

• Set clear accountability and foster collaboration across functions

Capacity & Resource Planning

• Align engineering and production capacity with project demand in line with the strategic plan

Continuous Improvement

• Define standardised processes and drive improvements in productivity, quality, and lead time
• Lead value stream optimisation, digitalisation, and Industry 4.0 initiatives

Escalation & Customer Focus

• Act as escalation point for delays, conflicts, and resource constraints - ensuring customer commitments are met

Qualifications and skills:

• Degree in Engineering, Technical Business Administration, or equivalent
• 5+ years in operations, engineering, or project management within an industrial manufacturing environment
• Proven experience leading cross-functional teams or managing value streams
• Strong understanding of LVSA architecture, system design, and manufacturing constraints
• Knowledge of IEC 61439 standards and project execution processes
• Familiarity with engineering tools (e.g., EPLAN Electric P8) is an advantage

What Sets You Apart

• A leader who develops people - not just manages them
• Structured, process-driven, and comfortable navigating complexity
• A clear communicator across technical and operational boundaries
• Strong ownership mindset with decisive problem-solving capability

What we offer:

• A performance-oriented and attractive remuneration, depending on education, qualifications, and professional experience, of approximately EUR 110,000 gross per year, paid in 14 monthly instalments (overpayment above this amount is possible depending on qualifications and experience).
• Flexible working solutions
• Excellent working environment - safety and ethics are important for us
