Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future? If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.
Main activities and responsibilities:
In this role, you will be responsible for supporting both operational and strategic logistics flows of the plant, ensuring efficient and optimized processes. You will play a key role in developing and refining internal and external logistics processes, leveraging lean manufacturing principles and engaging stakeholders by clearly explaining facts, requirements, and best practices. Additionally, you will communicate the need for industrial adaptations and support the development of new processes and technologies to enhance operational efficiency.
A significant aspect of this position will be contributing to the plant's automation strategy for internal logistics, identifying opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency. You will need to combine theory and practice to see possibilities and limitations of existing and evolving technologies. Also consider how to responsibly apply these in various situations.

Who are you?
We see you as a person with an analytical mindset with a strong interest in manufacturing and logistics development, a skilled problem solver with high ambitions of finding improvements and solutions to drive the plant forward. You can work independently and take your own initiative as well as collaborating with others in a cross-functional team. You enjoy having multiple tasks at hand simultaneously where you can act quickly and prioritize when needed. Jumping to conclusions is just a waste of time you think, but when you are certain, you jump directly into action. You work without prestige, based on facts, and have an easy time seeing situations from different perspectives. High-paced environments make you excited and you get energy from connecting with your colleagues during the day.
Socialization as well as communication are personal skills you possess and you enjoy building relationships with different types of people, seeing the value in teamwork, as well as taking your own initiatives and being able to work independently when needed. You are driven by constantly developing yourself and your surroundings.
