About the job
What is my role?
You take on the operational and disciplinary leadership of your shift team - including employee evaluations and development discussions. With your leadership style, you strengthen personal responsibility and motivation.
You ensure the smooth running of production in the areas of paper manufacturing, waste paper processing, and sludge incineration. In case of disruptions or adjustments, you quickly restore operational readiness.
This is not a pure office job - you are close to the team, pitch in, and take responsibility on the shop floor.
You actively contribute to continuous improvements and jointly create holiday and personnel planning with the other shift supervisors.
What do I need to be successful?
Completed training as a paper technologist, ideally with further training as an industrial foreman - or the willingness to complete this. Broad expertise in paper manufacturing and good technical understanding.
Several years of leadership experience with a strong awareness of safety and quality. Independent, responsible, and goal-oriented working style.
Willingness to work a 4-shift system in a rotating 7-day shift model - including weekends and public holidays.
Confident handling of MS Office and digital systems.
Negotiation-level German language skills.
What are my benefits?
At least 5 weeks of holiday
Free parking spaces
Attractive pension scheme
Free fruit and healthy catering options
Strong team and great working atmosphere
Thorough induction and training
Opportunities for further education and training
Bonuses for successful employee referrals
