Packaging Team Leader (2 Shifts)

Function

As Packaging Team Leader at Ninove You’ll provide day-to-day guidance for the packaging process in the patisserie department, the beating heart of production. You’ll work alongside an enthusiastic team in a refrigerated environment, ensuring that products are packaged correctly, on time and to the highest quality standards. In doing so, you’ll combine an operational presence on the shop floor with a coaching role for the packaging operators.

Your role will be varied and challenging:

• You’ll lead the packing team, motivate your colleagues and ensure smooth collaboration during the shift
• You’ll keep a close eye on the schedule and product changes and step in where necessary
• You will monitor the quality of the packaged products and check the labelling, sorting and finishing
• you step in to deal with minor technical faults and quickly find practical solutions
• You will monitor compliance with safety, hygiene and quality regulations
• You’ll help out with cover during breaks and help ensure continuity on the shop floor
• You take the initiative to make the packaging process more efficient and better organised

You will be working in an environment where ownership, teamwork and a results-oriented approach are key. The role requires a visible presence on the shop floor, a strong hands-on attitude and a willingness to work in two rotating shifts.

Profile

For this role, we are looking for a driven team leader with 3 to 5 years’ experience and a good understanding of people, planning and quality. You know how to lead a team in a positive way and you remain calm even when production is under pressure. Experience in a production or packaging environment is a major asset, as are a hands-on approach and a sense of responsibility.

Your profile:

• You have experience of leading, guiding or motivating a team
• You’ll be working on the shop floor whilst also taking on a clear leadership role
• You are flexible and willing to work in two rotating shifts
• You have strong organisational, communication and problem-solving skills
• You have a keen eye for quality, safety and hygiene
• You speak Dutch fluently; knowledge of French is an advantage
• You have a sense of responsibility and actively contribute ideas for improvements
• You can make your own way to Ninove

A degree is less important than your experience, motivation and ability to bring people and processes together in a thoughtful way.
