Operator

Introduction

The production line is ready to start, but first the machines need to be set up correctly and everyone needs to know what needs to happen. You check the settings, divide the tasks, and make sure production gets off to a smooth start. Does something not go as planned? Then you switch gears quickly and look for a solution. For a production company in Waalwijk, we're looking for an Operator who combines technical insight with leading colleagues. Does this sound like something for you? Then read on!

Organization

This company in Waalwijk is active in the packaging industry. Within the production environment, everything revolves around efficient working, quality, and good collaboration. The production lines need to keep running smoothly, and for that, a team that knows how to get things done is needed.
You'll find yourself in a hands-on work environment where you're not just working with machines, but also playing an important role within the production team. There's room to contribute ideas for improvements and to develop yourself further. Plus, you work day shifts, so your evenings are always free!

Function

As an Operator, you're the one who makes sure daily production runs smoothly. You start up the production lines, set the machines correctly, and keep an eye on whether everything is going according to plan. You spot malfunctions or bottlenecks and actively think along about ways to improve the production process.
But you're not just behind the machines! You also have a leading role on the work floor. You divide the tasks, give clear instructions to your colleagues, and make sure everyone knows what needs to happen. Meanwhile, you keep a close eye on productivity and quality, and adjust where needed.
Safety and quality always come first. You make sure everyone works safely and that the products meet the set requirements. You also like to roll up your sleeves yourself, because as an Operator you're not only responsible for keeping an overview, but you also actively pitch in.
You work day shifts from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
