Sr. Work Preparer / Team Lead Operations Office

About this vacancy

As a Team Lead at the Operations Office, you play a versatile role where you actively participate in work preparation while simultaneously managing a small team. Approximately 70 to 80% of your time is spent focusing on work preparation, planning, and daily operations. The remaining time is dedicated to team coordination, process improvement, and overseeing progress and alignment. You work together in a compact and dedicated team of five colleagues, consisting of three work planners, a buyer, and a project administration staff member. Because the team is small, you stay closely involved in the content and collaborate daily with your colleagues. You serve as the connecting link between work preparation, purchasing, project administration, and logistics. You oversee planning, align priorities, and ensure materials, capacity, and progress are well-coordinated. When necessary, you roll up your sleeves and help get the work done. Additionally, you guide colleagues in their daily tasks, conduct progress and development discussions, and identify opportunities to make processes more efficient, organized, and predictable. In short: you are the hands-on team lead who provides structure, oversight, and continuity within the operations office. You combine in-depth knowledge of work preparation with natural leadership, ensuring both the team and the projects advance every day.

What we expect from you

You feel most comfortable in a role where you are directly involved in operations while also helping colleagues bring out the best in themselves. You thrive on a combination of content, coordination, and collaboration. You maintain oversight, set the right priorities, and are not afraid to roll up your sleeves when necessary. Additionally, you identify yourself with:

• A higher professional education level, preferably in Technical Business Administration, Mechanical Engineering, Logistics, or a similar field;
• Experience in work preparation, planning, supply chain, or a comparable role in a technical environment;
• Experience in coordinating or managing a small team;
• You are strong in communication, proactive, and decisive;
• You enjoy contributing ideas on smarter organization and process improvement;
• Humor. Bad humor is fine too.
