Continuous Improvement Leader

Continuous Improvement Leader at Salico in Helsingborg Since 2023, we have been producing in Greenhouse, our facility at Långeberga, and we are proud of the journey we have made so far. At the same time, we know there is always more to develop, and now we are looking for a continuous improvement leader who wants to be part of taking the next step in our work with TPM, efficiency and continuous improvements.

About the role As a continuous improvement leader, you will have a broad and central role in our continued development. We have a strong foundation to stand on through a modern facility, skilled employees and established working methods. But we know that there is always more potential to tap into in the form of increased efficiency, reduced waste and even sharper maintenance work. You will be the one who ties that work together, discovers where the next opportunity lies and drives through changes together with colleagues throughout the organization. In other words, you get plenty of room to make your mark and really make a difference. Our products are fresh, and customers can place orders the same day the goods are to be delivered. This places high demands on speed and flexibility in operational management – and as a continuous improvement leader, you have an important role in helping production find solutions, structure and improvements even when the pace is high.

We believe you are a person who thrives best when you get to create structure where none exists today. You are hands-on, like to be close to reality and have an easy time getting others on board – whether it is an operator on the floor or a colleague in the management group. We are looking for you who have: Experience in improvement work, TPM, Lean or similar methodology, preferably from process or food industry Habits of working practically and hands-on, with the ability to go out and verify in reality yourself Experience of driving projects and activities together with different functions, without necessarily having had formal personnel responsibility Previous experience of building new working methods or functions from scratch Good communication skills and easy to build trust with colleagues at different levels in the organization Education in engineering, production or equivalent Good knowledge of Swedish, in speech and writing As a person, you are: Driven and self-directed, used to taking initiative and seeing things through to goal Curious and analytical, but in a practical sense – you want to understand "why", not just measure it Good at building relationships and collaborating across functional boundaries Structured, but flexible when reality requires it Confident in challenging established working methods in a constructive way Have a good understanding of product quality and occupational health and safety requirements, and naturally weigh it in the improvements you drive What we offer A broad and central role with great personal responsibility Close collaboration with the entire organization, from the production floor to the management group Collective agreement and the security benefits it entails Placement: Långeberga, Helsingborg Reports to: Emma Jakobsson, COO Employment form: Full-time, permanent Start date: By agreement Application deadline: TBD Recruitment process We review applications on an ongoing basis, so do not wait with your application.
