Employee at Sawmill with Prospect of Team Leadership

About the job

Our sawmill in Erlenbach im Simmental is an important hub for processing round timber from the forests of the Canton of Bern. In recent years, large parts of the production facilities have been renewed and brought up to the latest technical standards.

To strengthen our team and with a view to the future succession in team leadership, we are looking for an interested and motivated individual to start immediately or by arrangement as

Employee at Sawmill with Prospect of Team Leadership (80-100%)

In this role, you will get to know our production processes, machines, and our team comprehensively and gradually take on more responsibility. This is in view of the planned retirement of our current team leader. We want to build the succession early and carefully, giving you the opportunity to prepare optimally for your future role.

At the beginning, leadership responsibility is not the focus. This will develop step by step according to your progress and after a joint induction phase.

What you can achieve

• Ensuring efficient and timely sawn timber production
• Work preparation (AVOR) and coordination of daily production processes
• Monitoring quality, quantity, and deadlines
• Relief function on various machines within your own area
• Organisation of tool changes as well as repair and maintenance work
• Participation in repair and maintenance work
• Compliance with administrative requirements as well as safety and fire protection regulations
• Gradual assumption of additional responsibility with a view to future team leadership

How you can impress us

• You have completed vocational training as a sawyer, wood industry specialist, forest ranger, or a comparable basic education in the wood industry
• You enjoy working with machines and have a strong technical understanding
• You have a quick grasp and an interest in production processes
• You work independently, reliably, and with a high awareness of quality
• You like to take responsibility and want to develop professionally and personally
• You are team-oriented, resilient, and willing to get stuck in
• You enjoy working with the raw material wood and a varied activity in a modern sawmill
• Initial experience in leadership or coordination of employees is an advantage but not a requirement

How we impress you

We offer interesting activities in a secure working environment. Within the company, we maintain an open communication culture with flat hierarchies, and to promote team building, we encourage joint activities. In addition, we offer attractive fringe benefits and specialised training opportunities. Our modern workplaces also enable independent work.
