The posting
For an international technology leader, we are looking for a Senior Process Engineer with a leader's mindset who isn't afraid of a challenge and can deliver tangible results. Our client has a key project underway that needs to be boosted to peak performance. We are seeking a hands-on expert who is willing to roll up their sleeves, take a high-level view of a complex production line, assess the complete process from A to Z, and deliver solutions.
This role is also a great opportunity for managers who want to get back to their roots—to genuine process engineering, hands-on shop-floor work, and leading a smaller, highly specialized team.

- Natural leadership: Experience in people management, developing junior colleagues, or project-managing an engineering team
- Data-driven mindset: Strong analytical skills, ability to define the right data metrics/KPIs, and design workable solutions
- Drive for results: Demonstrable track record in boosting OEE, reducing scrap rates, and successfully industrializing new products with real business impact
- Language skills: Fluent English required for communication with international colleagues
- Nice to have / Added bonus: Six Sigma certification (Green or Black Belt), experience with advanced automation, or knowledge of SAP software will put you one step ahead
- Visible impact: A high-influence role where you will see the direct results of your work right on the shop floor
