  • Coordinate workflows, manage schedules, and resolve day-to-day challenges on the production floor
  • Ensure compliance with quality, safety, and procedural standards in collaboration with internal stakeholders
  • Report regularly on project and team progress to ALTEN management and relevant project teams

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with proven ability to lead and motivate large teams
  • Fluent in Dutch preferred; strong English speakers will also be considered
  • Experience in high-tech, aerospace, or defense manufacturing environments is a significant advantage
  • Able to work hands-on and lead in a structured, process-driven setting
  • Organized, pragmatic, and comfortable managing both people and process
