Additionally, you will manage a range of projects across our entire network to promote productivity. Shift flexibility required: The position is available in day operations (day shift), early shift, late shift, or night shift (with a night shift bonus). The shift will, however, be rotated after a certain period, so availability for all shifts is required.

• A free employee assistance program (also for family members) for counseling on professional or private matters
• Excellent development opportunities in a global company

Key job responsibilities:

• Creating, overseeing, and promoting a culture of safety and well-being

• Supervising projects to streamline processes, optimize productivity, and improve service quality for customers in your area of responsibility
• Analyzing shifts according to company guidelines and implementing measures to improve our operational excellence
• Collaborating with colleagues at the executive level to standardize shift procedures

A day in the life:

You work in a shift operation at one of our locations and ensure that the processes there are as productive as possible. The focus of your work is the management and promotion of a safety culture as well as the maintenance of quality and performance standards of the work shifts. You also supervise process improvements in your area and organize the implementation. A typical working day can look very different and includes routine team management and daily operational tasks as well as process improvement and extensive operational tasks for the eventual case. You also act as a role model and mentor for new managers.
