What we do?

About your job

In this position, you manage R&D activities with the aim of solving problems and improving and generating new products, components, equipment, systems and processes – all in line with our department strategy. You lead a team of quite self-driven engineers and together you support and develop the daily operational work and planning of the workflows. Developing and implementing agile planning and maintenance tools and routines to improve end-to-end lead times and efficiency in our operations is also on your agenda. You take responsibility for handling incoming matters and distributing and applying them on our daily operations. You ensure that our maintenance planning runs smoothly without disruptions and plan the preventative maintenance on our machines – when a problem occurs, you react promptly and make sure that we solve the issue quickly. Another part of your job is to take on a supportive role in our EHS work within R&D - driving continuous improvements, investment projects, and implementing new ways of working in the department. Additionally, you're a supportive co-worker to your manager and fellow R&D managers – always lending a helping hand when needed.

At the end of the day, you ensure continuous improvement and act as a true role model when it comes to EHS and zero harm to our people. You constantly strive to exceed customer expectations and set clear directions with ambitious objectives that are translated into actions. Your true passion in the area generates engagement and enables your team to always strive towards more efficient solutions.

You bring strong leadership capabilities and are truly inspired by developing a diverse team. You're secure in your knowledge and truly believe in sharing best practices and that success is a team effort. With a flexible and creative mindset, you can shift focus in a moment's notice, and are able to notice details in the bigger picture - always with our business best interest in mind
