Are you a strategically strong leader who gets energized by complex, automated logistics environments? In this role, you will be given the space to provide direction to two modern sites in Venlo, where growth, innovation, customer focus, and operational excellence come together.

How will you do this? As senior site manager, you combine operational leadership with strategic insight. You oversee the entire operation at both locations and ensure that people, processes, and technology work together optimally.

At the same time, you are visible and approachable on the shop floor. You provide direction, develop people, and build a culture in which ownership and continuous improvement are a matter of course. As an equal partner for customers and internal stakeholders, you move easily between operational, tactical, and strategic issues. You translate customer expectations and growth into scalable solutions and ensure alignment between operations, IT, automation, commercial, and business objectives.

Additionally, you bear responsibility for the financial results and KPIs of both sites. You manage performance, workforce management, safety, quality, and customer satisfaction, and use data to support decisions and drive continuous improvement. You will achieve this by:

• realizing an efficient and future-proof operation in which KPIs, quality, safety, and the customer promise are central;
• managing growth and changing customer needs by developing flexible and scalable solutions;
• optimally utilizing and further developing automation, including AutoStore and Exotec, to improve capacity, efficiency, and performance;
