Who you are

• You are a strong communicator, know how to bring your message across and can make a point. You also are an active listener capable of capturing crucial feedback. 
• You either have an education in engineering or exact sciences, and practice project management. Or you have a management education and practice in a highly technical environment. 
• You have gone through an Industry 4.0 change journey, so can tell from your own experience what it takes for automation initiatives to be successful and which contributions are necessary by which role. 
• Experience in a complex manufacturing environment – characterized by demanding processes, high product mix, delicate materials and a diversity of stakeholders involved – is a strong asset, preferably in the semiconductor industry. 
• You have a pro-active approach, take initiative, organize your work well, and are successful in building coalitions. 
• Since you will be working in a highly international environment and will be maintaining a good contact with colleagues and co-workers from all over the world, fluency in English is essential.
