You will transform new product concepts into mature production setups, implement technological upgrades, and help transfer and scale solutions across factories. You will act as the connector between product development, technology, and production, ensuring that new technologies and products are introduced efficiently and with high production robustness.
More specifically, your tasks will be to:
Leading projects from concept to implementation, within the field of glass manufacturing.
Defining technical specifications and managing the procurement of manufacturing technologies and production equipment (cutting, tempering, laminating, and production lines).
Participating in process optimization, quality improvement, and product cost reduction initiatives across all glass manufacturing plants of the VELUX Group.
Preparing and maintaining technical requirement specifications in close cooperation with the relevant stakeholders.
Project planning, coordination, and execution, ensuring delivery on time, within scope, and within budget – in close collaboration with the glass factories.
