As Maintenance Manager, you are responsible for the technical state and reliability of our production site in Sloten. You ensure that installations and equipment function safely, efficiently, and in a future-proof manner, so that our production can continue to run today and tomorrow.

One of your most important responsibilities is developing and implementing an effective maintenance policy.

As a leader, you are visible, accessible, and coaching. You know how to bring your team along in changes and create an environment in which safety, collaboration, and continuous improvement are central. Additionally, you communicate effortlessly with various stakeholders and know how to provide management and colleagues with appropriate advice.

We are looking for a manager who gets energy from dynamics, adapts easily to changing circumstances, and knows how to bring others along in this. With your organizational sensitivity, planning skills, and result-oriented approach, you make the difference.

What else you bring:
