Do you get satisfaction when planning, capacity and execution fit together seamlessly? Then become our new Planning & Order Engineer and strike the perfect balance between technology, time and costs.

- You are responsible for the planning and capacity overviews for our production department.
- You ensure a transparent working method and communication with the various departments.

- You escalate in the event of extreme deviations and implement changes.
- You actively participate in daily kick-off meetings, planning meetings and KAV meetings (Complaints, Deviations and Improvement Proposals), among other things.
