We seek a production engineer who is able to use scientific knowledge to solve everyday large-scale production challenges and drive optimization opportunities. We are used to a dynamic work environment where the ability to quickly shift focus from a single assignment to the overview of an entire recovery line is required daily. You will be collaborating with a broad number of professions from production staff, maintenance, R&D and sales. People skills and the ability to communicate with various professions are your keys to succeed.

You work as part of a team of dedicated and skilled engineers, technicians, operators and managers with high spirits and an informal office tone. We will support you and provide you with amble development opportunities and help you establish your network in the organization.
In this role you’ll make an impact by:
- Having the process responsibility including daily supervision, problem solving and optimization to meet business targets for quality, delivery, economy and regulatory requirements

- Be able to take the role as informal leader in daily decision making
- Be a quick learner and able to communicate complex problems to colleagues and stakeholders with different insights in recovery technology and processes
- Be able to combine scientific talent with practical skills, and be as comfortable solving short-term problems as optimizing processes to improve long-term productivity
