The role
Are you a technically strong project manager who loves to take control of investment projects with visible impact?
At ForFarmers, you will work on multidisciplinary projects worth several million euros at various production locations in the Netherlands. From new pressing lines and a new laboratory to innovative sustainability projects: you take the lead and ensure that plans become reality.
What makes this position special? The variety. No two projects are the same. You will work on diverse technical challenges and will be given the space to think along, make choices, and guide projects from design to delivery.
What you'll do
As a Project Manager within the Technical department, you are responsible for investment projects worth several million euros at our production locations in the Netherlands. You investigate improvement possibilities, draw up project plans, and ensure that projects are successfully executed. You look beyond the technology. You are both analytical and pragmatic. This is how you connect different interests and bring colleagues along in changes. You will receive a great deal of autonomy, but you will never stand alone. Together with colleagues from technical, production, and safety departments, you will work on the further development of our locations.
Due to the growth of our project organization, we are expanding the team. You will work together with experienced project managers on investment projects that contribute directly to the development of our production locations. In doing so, you will get plenty of room to take individual responsibility, share knowledge, and learn from one another.
- You identify opportunities to improve, expand, or renew production processes and installations.
- You prepare investment projects and guide the execution, from design and advice to delivery.
- You monitor the progress, quality, planning, and the result of your projects.
- You ensure a clear division of tasks and set the right priorities within the project team.
- You coordinate with colleagues, suppliers, and other stakeholders and act as their point of contact for your projects.
- You keep an eye on practical execution and ensure that technical solutions align with the needs of our production locations.
What we offer you as a Technical Project Manager
At ForFarmers, you get more than a job - you get the space to grow, with plenty of freedom and responsibility.
Want to meet us?
From the initial design and advice to the execution and delivery: you take control and ensure successful investment projects. Do you see yourself in this role? Then we would love to meet you.
Do you have questions about the position, the content of the role, or the team you will be working in? Please contact Wouter Scharenborg, Technical Manager, via our central telephone number: 0573 28 88 00.
Acquisition in response to this vacancy is not appreciated. The unsolicited and/or without a valid (mediation) agreement provision of CVs by recruitment and selection agencies (and/or similar companies) will be for ForFarmers
