About the job

Are you looking for an exciting work environment and want to become part of a leading company in the energy sector? With us, you can expect a versatile and varied position. As a family-run company with an international focus, we are characterised by flat hierarchies.

Take responsibility. Shape the future. Further develop production.

For our industrial manufacturing, we are looking for a committed leader who takes operational responsibility, inspires people, and shapes the next development step of our site together with us.

What you will do

• Operational department management: You directly lead and coordinate a key production department with several teams (including shift work).
• Direct deputy to the production management: You work closely with the production manager, fully represent them during their absence, and actively support the strategic orientation of the entire manufacturing.
• Future project site expansion: You contribute significantly to the planning, establishment, and later operation of our new, additional production site.
• Leadership & development: You promote, motivate, and further develop your team leaders and employees and ensure efficient resource and shift planning.
• Process and continuous improvement management: You secure and further develop production processes (quality, punctuality, occupational safety, and lean management) in a technically demanding environment.

What you bring

• Solid technical education: You have a technical basic education, for example in electrical, mechanical, or production engineering, as well as a qualified further education at Technician HF, Bachelor, Professional Bachelor or Master level or a comparable qualification. Ideally with a focus on production, business processes, or industrial engineering.
• Leadership experience & ambition: You have several years of proven leadership experience in an industrial production company – ideally in shift work – and want to take the next step towards extended plant management.
• Technical understanding: Experience in high-voltage and insulation technology, in the construction of busbars and/or feedthroughs, or in a comparably demanding manufacturing technology is a great advantage.
• Can-do mentality: You like to get involved yourself, think entrepreneurially, and convince with quality awareness, assertiveness, and strong organisational skills.
• Change competence: You see changes as opportunities. Actively shaping and building a new production site particularly motivates you.
• Communication skills: You communicate clearly and reliably, lead on equal terms, and know how to inspire employees for common goals.
• Languages: You have business fluent German skills in spoken and written form. Good English skills are an advantage.

What we offer you

• This responsible role offers you a versatile and varied working environment with plenty of freedom for your independence and initiative.
• Especially exciting: With the establishment of our new production site, you not only shape the ongoing operations but actively the future of our company.
