Total Productive Management (TPM) and Lean principles and philosophy play an important role. Projects typically consist of an analysis and advice phase followed by the implementation of the recommendations.

You will work independently as well as in teams at our clients, supporting them with improving their business performance.

Drawing on your knowledge, skills and experience, you will start to build valued relationships with external clients and internal peers. Moreover, you will also support in the development of project proposals and thought leadership. You will also play an active role within the team and contribute to the development of all team members.

• Basic understanding or manufacturing data analytics and data management architecture
• Demonstrated extracurricular experience during your studies/work
What we look for
We are looking for ambitious and result-driven individuals who want to have a steep learning curve and grow to be a transformative leader in a fast-paced, international environment. You exhibit exceptional analytical capabilities, with the ability to structure problems and solve them pragmatically. You get energized from spending time on the shopfloor and are able to communicate with all ranks in the organization, from operators to executive leadership. You enjoy working in multicultural teams in- and outside of the Netherlands as well as individually.
What we offer
We offer a competitive remuneration package where you’ll be rewarded for your individual and team performance.
