Working with technology and craftsmanship? Become a Process Operator in our Cheesery in Dalfsen!
Just imagine: you start your shift in our cheesery. During the handover, you hear how the process is running and what happened during the previous shift. After that, you get to work at your station.
Depending on the workstation, you might monitor part of the production process, perform quality controls, and adjust where necessary. You don't do this just with your colleagues. You will learn various workstations so that you are not in the same place every day, your work remains varied, and you ultimately get to know the entire cheesery.
No two days are the same, but one thing is certain: thanks to your commitment, a perfect piece of Leerdammer cheese will soon be in the supermarket.
As a Process Operator, you are responsible for an important part of the production process. You work with modern installations, monitor quality, and ensure that the process continues to run safely and efficiently.
· You work together in an enthusiastic and highly experienced team
· You operate and monitor various process installations
· You monitor product quality by performing checks and measurements
· You identify deviations and adjust the process where necessary
· You resolve small technical disruptions independently
· You coordinate with technicians during larger malfunctions
· You actively contribute ideas for improvements in the areas of safety, quality, and efficiency
· And of course, you work safely because you want to go home healthy too!
Because you are offered training and also learn multiple workstations, you gain a lot of insight into the entire production process. You will get to know all parts of the cheesery and develop yourself into an all-round operator.
What makes this position special is the combination of technology, process control, and craftsmanship.
✅ You do not work in the same place every day
✅ You learn the entire cheesemaking process step by step
✅ You receive a lot of responsibility and independence
✅ You work with modern and automated installations
✅ You make a direct contribution to a well-known A-brand
✅ You work in a 5-shift rotation
Perhaps you already have experience as a Process Operator, or perhaps not yet. What is primarily important to us is that you are curious, like to take responsibility, and have an interest in technology and processes.
We would love to teach you the finer points of the trade. Through a structured training program, you will develop yourself into a specialist within our cheesery.
