Shift Supervisor (5 positions) — Venlo

Shift Supervisor (5 positions) — Venlo
Four-shift rotation · approx. € 72,900–81,000 incl. shift allowance + 8% holiday pay · full-time · MBO+/technical · direct employment
Please note: this role is part of a fully continuous four-shift system. It asks for flexibility in your rhythm — in return you get several consecutive days off at each shift changeover, and considerably higher pay (see below).

Where you will work
You will join a technology-driven manufacturing company in the Venlo region, part of an international parent group. This is a large, highly automated production environment where orders come in digitally and are turned into finished products for customers across Europe every day. Not a traditional factory: a modern setting where technology, data and craftsmanship come together.
Following an expansion of production capacity with a new production line, we are looking for five Shift Supervisors who want to become the beating heart of the floor: leading people, keeping processes sharp and putting safety first.

What you will do
You lead your shift from start to finish. You open the day with a short team meeting around the core themes — safety, quality, delivery, cost and productivity — so everyone knows where things need to go.
You coach your people: you give feedback, guide them and help them grow. You are on the floor yourself, because that is where you solve things. When quality or a process runs into trouble, you analyse and act. And you work closely with the Maintenance and Quality teams to keep the environment safe, organised and efficient.

Who we are looking for
We believe that different backgrounds and perspectives make the team stronger. Don't tick every box? Apply anyway — you may well be the right person.
Two routes fit this role:
● The experienced supervisor — you have at least three years of experience leading a shift in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
● The talent — you haven't done it all yet, but you have persuasiveness, a growth mindset and the drive to lead.
Furthermore:
● You communicate easily and solve problems. You are a team player.
● English is required — written and spoken. Dutch and/or German is a strong plus.
● MBO+ level or equivalent, technical or business-oriented. Knowledge of process optimisation (Lean) and experience with operations or fast-paced production environments are welcome.
● If you come from a high-volume, high-tempo environment — where speed and consistent quality go hand in hand — that is a strong plus.

A clear picture, because this matters:
● Base salary: € 54,000 – € 60,000 gross per year
● Four-shift allowance: 35% on top of the base salary
● Together roughly € 72,900 – € 81,000 gross per year
