Imagine this: the production line is running smoothly, every station is occupied, and the machines are humming in harmony. But behind this seamless operation is you—the Shift Supervisor who keeps everything on track. You anticipate problems, resolve issues, and make sure your team stays motivated. Ready for a dynamic leadership role in a five-shift system? Then this might be your next career move.

The company specialises in injection moulding of plastic end products and semi-finished components. Think smart storage solutions and durable plastic items used in daily life. From their location in Waalwijk, a dedicated and professional team works on an innovative and efficient production process. Since January 2025, they operate fully in a five-shift system—creating a structured, fast-paced environment where technology, teamwork, and quality meet.

As Shift Supervisor, you lead a team of up to six employees, including an operator who serves as your deputy and several assembly workers. You are in charge of the entire shift, ensuring that production runs according to plan and quality standards. When a malfunction occurs, you remain calm and fix it independently when possible—or coordinate with the technical department for more complex issues.

You work closely with the production manager and provide a clear handover at the end of your shift. This position offers a high degree of independence and the trust to make decisions. You are a visible presence on the shop floor, motivating your team and making sure everyone performs their tasks with enthusiasm and commitment.

What do we expect from you?

• Proven experience as a shift supervisor, team leader, or in a similar production role;
• Technical insight and the ability to independently troubleshoot issues;
• Experience with injection moulding machines is a plus;
• Strong communication skills, stress resistance, and motivational abilities;
• Proficiency in Dutch or English.

What can you expect in return?

• A responsible role in a modern production facility with friendly colleagues;
• Work in a five-shift rotation system, averaging 32.55 hours per week;
• Competitive hourly wage €21,44 including 28% shift allowance;
• Extras like 24 vacation days, a bonus scheme, bicycle plan, and fully employer-funded pension;
• Focus on job satisfaction: from staff parties and drinks to a summer BBQ and Christmas dinner.
