To join our family business Wim Peters Kwekerijen, we are immediately looking for a production manager packing hall to ensure that our tomatoes go to customers in high quality and attractive packaging.
Are you ready for a key role in a challenging environment within our organization? As a production leader packaging hall, you will ensure that people, processes and machines perform to their maximum potential. Now and in the future, with great plans on the horizon.
Does this sound like your challenge? Then read on quickly!
Your work
As production leader packaging hall, you are the lynchpin between people, processes and technology. You give direction, motivate and develop a large and diverse team of 20 to 50 employees. You ensure that processes run smoothly, continuously improve and that our modern machines perform optimally.
Together with one colleague you are ultimately responsible for the complete packaging process: from sorting and packaging to quality control and internal transport. But your role goes further than that. You combine leadership, process optimization and technical knowledge to make the difference.
You have daily contact with all employees, motivating and guiding them and ensuring a positive working atmosphere. You are involved in training new employees and achieving standards. At the same time, you monitor schedules, analyze bottlenecks and implement improvements to increase efficiency and quality. You understand how our modern machines work, identify faults and ensure that they perform optimally (together with our permanent partners). In addition, you think along with ambitious future plans such as expansion of packaging lines and automation and digitalization.
You interact intensively with your sales colleagues and maintain short lines of communication with our production sites. Due to the dynamics on the customer side and in cultivation, the work is sometimes unpredictable and hectic. Your agility, creativity, result orientation and natural leadership make the difference then. In the quiet months you focus on maintenance, process improvement and getting the hall ready for the new season. The team consists of employees of different nationalities, so it is important that you speak English. Knowledge of other languages, such as Polish or Bulgarian, is a nice plus.
