This is how you make an Impact

As a Team Leader, your daily goal is to work with your team to achieve the production targets. You start the day with a "day start" meeting in which you and your team discuss safety, quality, logistics, planning, and budget (SQLTC). After that, you get to work, and as the team leader you ensure that your team can meet the intended objectives. In this role, you are a true coach and leader for your people. You are present on the shop floor and create a pleasant and safe working environment for yourself and your multicultural team.

You listen, guide, support, and solve issues so your team can work effectively and stay engaged. During shift changes, you make sure your team hands over the work properly. You conduct selection, performance, and appraisal interviews. You ensure that new colleagues receive a proper onboarding and that all team members can continue to develop themselves. In doing so, you consider the needs of the individuals, the team, and the organization. You are responsible for executing the department's annual plan and report to the unit manager.

This is what we offer you

You will be working in an international organization that offers plenty of room for your own development.

You will work in an environment where safety, quality, and continuous improvement are central. You will collaborate closely with fellow Team Leaders, Engineering, Logistics, HR, and the Unit Manager. There is ample opportunity to further develop your leadership capabilities. You will work in shifts, which also brings additional responsibility outside regular office hours.

You can also count on:

· A competitive salary aligned with your knowledge and experience, plus shift allowances according to the collective labor agreement.

· 27 vacation days, plus 13 additional ADV days.

· Pension contributions and travel expense reimbursement.

Working hours: Morning shift 6:00 AM - 2:50 PM, Afternoon shift 2:40 PM - 12:00 AM, and during the afternoon shift on Friday the work is from 2:40 PM to 9:20 PM.
