The role
Up to 500 diapers per minute! At Essity in Gennep, products fly through the machine so fast that you can barely follow them with the naked eye. People are amazed by our high-tech working environment and often do not realize what is happening within our factory walls. Together with our 240 colleagues, we produce products every day that contribute to the well-being of millions of people worldwide.

As a Technical Operator, you will work together in a small team in a 5-shift roster on one of our high-tech production lines. A responsible job, for which you must be able to stand firm in your shoes. It is your challenge to maintain an overview of the entire process and to quickly resolve any process disruptions! As a team, you are responsible for operating the machine and you monitor the progress and safety of the entire production process. An enjoyable and varied position, in which you will deal with all operational aspects of the production process. Think, for example, of process control, working according to fixed standards, safety, quality, maintenance, and process improvement.
What you'll do
You will start with intensive "on-the-job" training to get to know your machine, during which an internal mentor will coach you. After the induction period, you will be able to operate the entire production line independently. You will work with control and regulation systems. You will learn to analyze and resolve malfunctions. And that is only the beginning! Technology is constantly evolving, and we expect that from you as well.
Of course, you will not be alone. You will work intensively with your colleagues and form a well-oiled team that is collectively responsible for the machine and the production results. From the moment of arrival until the moment of handover. Together, you monitor production progress, tackle any process disruptions, and perform repairs. As a technical operator, you can resolve malfunctions up to a considerable level, and our employees consider that a real plus. If you truly cannot figure it out as a team, you will call upon the help of our technical experts to get the production line operational again as quickly as possible.
Who you are
You are willing to further develop yourself in technology;
You enjoy working in a continuous production environment (five-shift service);
You have technical/analytical insight and a strong sense of responsibility;
You are result-oriented and can work both independently and in a team;
Finally, you are curious and eager to learn and willing to continue investing in yourself through training.
Have you not completed a technical education, but would still like to be considered for this vacancy? Then simply contact us to discuss the possibilities.
