Directing operators within your team and assigning tasks.
We are looking for a
Lead Operator – 3 shifts
(Full-time 37.5 hours)
You know how a production line runs. But you also see what it takes to keep a team running well.
As a Lead Operator, you are right in the middle of the production floor of our dry plant, where our herbs and spices are packaged at the end of the production process. Together with your team, you ensure the lines keep running, the quality is correct, and everyone knows what needs to be done.
You are the first point of contact for the operators on your shift. You start up the shift, distribute the work, maintain an overview, and step in when things don't go according to plan. Colleagues also look to you first in the event of a breakdown. You don’t need to know every machine inside and out, but technical insight and experience with production machinery are important.
You work in a 3-shift rotation:
Morning: 05:30 – 14:00
Afternoon: 13:30 – 22:00
Night: 21:30 – 06:00
About Verstegen
Verstegen Spices & Sauces has stood for taste, quality, and innovation since 1886. As a family business, we believe that the best products begin at the source. That is why we work with local farmers worldwide and manage the entire chain ourselves: from purchasing and transport to grinding, blending, and production.
With over 500 colleagues in Rotterdam and various international offices, we develop products every day that contribute to a more sustainable food chain. Our ambition is clear: to create the finest flavors while respecting people, nature, and future generations.
What are you going to do?
At the start of your shift, you ensure that everyone knows what is expected of them. You discuss the schedule, assign tasks, and relay important information from the organization to your team. Throughout the shift, you maintain an overview of people, machines, materials, and quality. This includes, among other things, the following duties:
2.
Leading the daily stand-up and keeping your team informed of what is happening.
3.
You monitor the planning, production numbers, quality, and safety.
4.
Verify that all work and quality controls have been properly executed and
recorded.
5.
You adjust priorities if production requires it.
6.
You are the first point of contact for malfunctions and will call in the
Technical Service department when necessary.
7.
Ensure that raw materials, semi-finished products, and packaging materials are available on time.
8.
Coordinate with other departments to ensure the production process runs smoothly.
9.
You motivate employees, help them move forward, and ensure effective
collaboration within the team.
What do you bring to the table?
We are not necessarily looking for someone who has been a team leader for years. It is much more important that you understand production, have the courage to take responsibility, and know how to get people on board.
That is why we are looking for someone who:
• Has at least an MBO-3 level of education and professional competence in a relevant field;
• Has experience as, for example, an operator, process operator, machine operator, or line operator;
• Has experience with managing or supervising colleagues;
• Has an excellent command of the Dutch language in speaking, reading, and writing;
• Is willing to work in a 3-shift system.
What do you get from us?
This responsibility naturally comes with a good benefits package.
• A salary of €3,080.25 to €4,047.25 gross per month, depending on your knowledge and experience.
• In addition, you will receive a 22.5% shift allowance.
• 8.33% holiday pay and a €900 year-end bonus.
• 26 vacation days and the option to purchase 10 additional days per year.
• A good pension scheme.
• Travel allowance.
• Opportunities for further development through courses and training.
• Discount on the Verstegen product range.
• Bicycle plan, corporate fitness, and, of course, a team where people work hard and laugh together.
