• Ensure accurate, timely GMP documentation and train operators on correct equipment use, documentation practices, and process controls.

• Identify and drive data‑driven process and equipment improvements, partnering with Engineering and other stakeholders to implement changes.

• Assign and coach operators, monitor team performance against the Master Production Schedule, and take ownership of operational metrics and corrective actions.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• HBO level education or equivalent practical experience in a technical or scientific field.

• Minimum 3 years of relevant manufacturing experience, preferably in the medical device industry or medical field.

• Strong knowledge of cGMP, EHS & Safety requirements and experience with Six Sigma or process‑excellence methodologies.

• Proficient with Excel, Windows, and ERP systems, and able to collect and analyze data to inform decisions.

• Fluent in English and Dutch with clear verbal and written communication and stakeholder presentation skills.

• Collaborative leader who coaches others, manages a defined team, sets priorities, and supports continuous improvement.

The anticipated base pay range for this position is 44,700 to 70,840 on an annual basis and includes 8% holiday allowance. In addition, the role includes an annual bonus of 10% based on performance.
