O pozícii
The Plant Business Office (PBO) is the plant's central unit for strategy and efficiency, responsible for defining, securing, and driving the long-term vision, capacity, efficiency, and investment planning across the entire facility. The PBO organization includes several project managers, project leaders, and analysts and falls under Plant Engineering, together with other central functions such as Environment, Plant Maintenance (center of excellence for maintenance) and Facility Management. PBO works very closely with the Plant Management Team as well as central functions on topics such as capacity, efficiencies, new technology roll-out, or high-priority complex projects such as permitting.
You will be the principal strategist and business driver behind the facility’s long-term growth and competitiveness. Leading a high-performing team of Project Managers and Analysts (~5 FTE), you will steer site strategy, capacity planning, footprint optimization, and capital investments while expanding the plant’s external business ecosystem.
Operating at the intersection of Plant Engineering, General Management, and Manufacturing Strategy, you will bridge local operations with global leadership, external partners, and regional institutions to pioneer transformation, launch cutting-edge technologies, and unlock new growth opportunities.
