At Lineage, helping to feed the world is more than a job – it’s a purpose we live every day. Lineage is the world’s largest and most innovative provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions.

To support our growth and transformation, we are recruiting for a Regional Engineering Manager who will look after our sites in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

What will you be doing?

As Regional Engineering Manager will oversee the Facility Engineering and Maintenance function.

You will be responsible for providing direction and operational support of all maintenance activities for refrigeration, facilities, and material handling equipment.

• Assess the in- and outsourced technical activities of Lineage in the region
• Share and implement the best practices
• Develop existing and new talents

Who are we looking for?

To be successful in this position, we need you to have a strong tactical/strategic approach with an operational background.

You will have the ability to identify successes on one site and apply them to others as well as keep track of capex and opex across sites, and make suggestions to optimise cost.

We need you to demonstrate experience in the following:

• Value added services (i.e. mechanized sortation, packing, picking)
• Ability to manage remotely and build a team spirit where all engineers can support and benefit from each other's experience
• Development and execution of strategy / annual plans (budget, operational performance, SOPs, etc.)

• Metrics measurements (i.e. energy efficiency, quality, employee productivity, and safety)
• Employee training and development (technical/functional input)
