The posting

Your impact begins here

As Manager – Skilled Workers, you will lead a team of 15 experienced, Danish-speaking skilled workers who keep two inspection lines, utility systems including water and HVAC, and supporting equipment running reliably. The team was brought together a year ago from three equipment groups and is now ready to grow further as one. You will set a clear direction, build cooperation and strengthen flexibility across equipment areas. Your impact will show in stable operations and a strong, united team.

What you’ll bring

Here, people leadership matters more than specialist knowledge of every piece of equipment. The team already brings deep technical expertise – you bring the leadership experience to help it work well together.

  • At least three years of people-management experience, ideally leading skilled workers, technicians or production staff.
  • Experience handling a range of people matters with care and clarity, including open and constructive conversations.
  • Around two years of responsibility for production equipment or similar technical-operational exposure, including preventive and corrective maintenance and responding to breakdowns.
  • Experience from a production environment, with a clear focus on safety, quality and compliance.
  • The ability to set clear expectations, build trust with experienced colleagues and keep a calm overview when priorities change.
  • Good cooperation and communication skills, and a can-do approach in an environment of change.
  • Fluency in Danish and English. Danish is essential, as you will lead a Danish-speaking team.

Useful, but not essential:

  • Experience from a GMP, cGMP or other regulated production environment. Pharmaceutical experience is not required, and we welcome candidates from other production industries.
  • Practical experience with Lean, continuous improvement or visual management.
  • A bachelor’s degree and a relevant technical education.

What you’ll do

  • Lead, coach and develop your 15 skilled workers through daily shop-floor leadership, timely feedback and development talks, so roles, priorities and expectations are clear to everyone.
  • Build cooperation across the equipment groups and continue cross-training, so the team can work flexibly across all equipment areas.
  • Ensure preventive maintenance is carried out and the right resources are in place when equipment breaks down, keeping inspection lines, utilities and supporting equipment operational.
  • Maintain high standards for safety, quality and compliance – from EHS follow-up on near misses to up-to-date SOPs and documented training for every team member.
  • Drive continuous improvement through performance boards, systematic problem solving.
  • Lead recruitment and talent development to build the competences the team needs now and in the future.

Who you’ll work with

In Global Manufacturing & Supply, colleagues scale processes and products for the people who need them. You will join Filling Engineering & Inspection department in Hillerød, where you will lead a team of 15 skilled workers and be part of an experienced management team that shares knowledge and supports each other.

You will work closely with other production team leaders, engineering and technical support colleagues, Manufacturing Development, Sourcing, and Product Supply and corporate support functions, as well as departments involved in projects in the area.

Through clear daily performance follow-up and good change management, you will keep stakeholders informed and help the work move forward.

What you can expect here

You will be trusted to take ownership, make decisions and follow through, with clear expectations and experienced leadership colleagues around you. With cross-training underway you have real room to shape how the team works and performs.

Salary: For this role, the Annual Base Salary ranges from 651,000 to 956,900 DKK, corresponding to the level of the position. The placement within the salary range will be assessed during the recruitment process based on the candidate’s skills, competencies, knowledge, and relevant experience.

Incentives and Benefits: The salary package may include short-term and/or long-term incentives as well as other employee benefits based on position level, location, functional area and relevant market benchmarks.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
