- Actively contribute to achieving operational targets for the plant.
- Responsible to both establish and secure compliance with standards and procedures.
- Facilitate cross-functional integration with relevant engineering teams to define interfaces for advanced real-time monitoring, production control, and optimization.
The person we are looking for is driven, highly execution-oriented and enjoys a fast paced environment with tight deadlines. You thrive by leading others and work towards common goals. You are used to a high paced work environment and got good time management skills. Qualities that we cherish are flexibility, sense of quality, friendliness, motivation to take on new challenges, grit and a sense of humor.
Northvolt is an equal opportunity employer. We're a diverse group of individuals, united by a common mission, who recognize that while our actions as individuals have a role to play in driving Northvolt towards its goals, we always seek to move forward as a team. We offer you an open and welcoming atmosphere where we win as a team - and fail as a team. Northvolt is growing at the speed of light and we are a strong believer in internal career development.
