Work shop manager Logistics engineering

Today, production and logistics are spread over three buildings and several different production areas.
 

We manufacture battery packs and modules in two different buildings as well as cabling in the third. This is in both Serial and prototype production. Within material handling there are two business areas with about seven group managers. All of these need the logistic engineering support for their respective businesses. The Logistics management team consists of a number of functions; Production Planning, Business IT, Material Planning, Material Handling and Logistic engineering. 

Within Logistics Engineering, there are three departments that work to provide the business with methods , departments with different focus areas such as Logistics Development, Back Office engineering and Front Office engineering.

Front Office consists of logistics technicians who handle the day-to-day issues that the business needs to deal with in order to deliver materials with 0 accidents and 0 errors.

The Back Office enables the business to be ready for new items, new paces, new requirements and planned improvements. Back  Office thus focuses more on what lies further in the future and creates working methods, layouts and trainings so that the business and Front Office can have good conditions to operate on a daily basis.

Logistics Development is responsible for preparing for upcoming changes in buildings, layouts, processes, equipment, layouts and methods based on changes in products, volumes and changing requirements. 

Many processes in production and material handling are automatic, and the flows are strongly interconnected. Few things happen or move without signals in and between our IT  systems. There is a separate IT Business function supporting the IT functionality.

Your team has the expertise in flow dimensioning, layouts, automation, digitization, and good knowledge of system signals. You are available and supportive of production at short notice and, with the help of the operational functions, can set off problems systematically with both short- and long-term solutions.

How we want to be!

Important to us are responsibility, coordination, and collaboration with other colleagues in logistics but also other functions. It is also important to be able to steer towards goals and deliveries through and with your group. We want to be able to learn from what can be improved and create methods and ways of working that support us going forward.

You should have a bachelor's or master's degree and be an experienced manager.
You are preferably fluent in Swedish and English, both written and spoken.
