Manager Manufacturing Engineering

• Good salary: with a range of €5,063 to €8,025 gross per month based on a full-time work week and, of course, depending on previous similar experience.

• Quarterly bonus: this is dependent on turnover and can amount to a maximum of 5% of your quarterly salary.

• Holiday: enjoy 40 days off per year (27 vacation days and 13 ATV days).

• Room for growth and development opportunities: for example, by participating in one of the many trainings of our Benchmark Academy, but also by following training courses that match your wishes and ours as an organization.

• Flexible working hours: as long as you ensure your work is finished, we offer the possibility to schedule your working hours in a flexible manner.

• Participation in our BE-Fit program: exercising with colleagues at the expense of Benchmark. Together we have already done kickboxing, cross-fit, and attended padel clinics.

Beyond that, Benchmark provides plenty of activities, such as an annual summer party and Christmas party.

As Manager Manufacturing Engineering within our PCBA team, you will work with a driven team of 15 to 20 colleagues on the industrialization of complex electronics. You and your team, consisting of Industrialization Engineers, work together on a structured and effective setup of our production processes, utilizing the production processes and standards developed by process engineering. Central to this are understanding requirements and desires and managing risks. You ensure good collaboration with, among others, process engineering, production, and supply chain.
