Shift Supervisor Paper Processing in 3-Shift Operation 100% (m/f/d)

Tasks

• Leadership with foresight: You take over the operational and disciplinary management of your shift team – including employee evaluations and development discussions. With your leadership style, you strengthen the responsibility, motivation, and development of your employees.
• Production under control: You ensure a smooth and efficient production process in the paper processing areas – across all systems. In case of disruptions, adjustments, or cleaning work, you quickly restore operational readiness and actively support the planning and implementation of downtimes.
• In the thick of things: This is not a pure office job – you are close to the team and actively step in where necessary. You pitch in, take responsibility on the shop floor, and are present when it matters.
• Responsibility for processes: You actively contribute to continuous improvements to achieve our annual goals. In cooperation with the other shift supervisors, you create vacation and personnel planning, ensure seamless reporting, and control data maintenance in the system.

Profile

• Education & expertise: You have completed technical training and ideally further training as an industrial foreman – or the willingness to complete it. Your good technical understanding and quick comprehension distinguish you.
• Leadership experience & personality: You bring several years of experience in leading teams. With your high safety and quality awareness as well as your decisiveness, you convince in everyday shift work. Your working style is independent, responsible, and goal-oriented.
• Digital competence: You are proficient in MS Office and work confidently with digital systems.
• Communication: You communicate fluently in German – clearly, reliably, and on equal footing.
• Shift readiness: You feel comfortable in 3- and 4-shift operations. We usually work in a 3-shift operation. Depending on the workload of paper processing, there may be a need to switch to a 4-shift operation for a certain period.
