Danica Foods is now seeking a Group Leader for maintenance and mechanics! Would you like to be part of an engaged team and join an exciting growth journey at a manufacturing company? We are now looking for a Group Leader in maintenance and mechanics who wants to take responsibility for daily operations and develop our work processes. The role is perfect for you if you thrive close to the operations, have leadership experience, and enjoy solving problems together with your team members. About the Company Danica Foods is a leading food producer focused on quality, innovation, and sustainable development. At our facility in Lycksele, we continuously work to develop our operations, strengthen our competitiveness, and reduce our environmental impact. Sustainability is an important part of our work. We strive to use energy and natural resources as efficiently as possible and continuously work on improvement initiatives to reduce our energy and water consumption. As part of this, we have collaborated with Umeå University, where students have had the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice by identifying and developing improvement opportunities within our production. At the same time, Danica Foods is on an exciting growth journey. Production has increased significantly in recent years, with a clear goal to continue growing. Through a strong market focus, increased market shares, and collaboration with our operations in Denmark, Norway, and Poland, we continue to develop both our organization and our production processes.

The work involves a significant presence in production where you follow up on operational disturbances, prioritize efforts, and ensure that proactive measures are implemented. You participate in daily morning meetings where current issues, deviations, and improvement areas are discussed. Today, maintenance work consists largely of emergency interventions, but an important part of your assignment will be to increase the proportion of preventive maintenance and create more structured work processes. Your Responsibilities Lead and distribute daily maintenance and mechanics work. Ensure high availability of our production lines. Prioritize and follow up on fault reports and operational disturbances. Work proactively in the facility around the machines and support employees in their daily work.

Work with digital improvements, such as managing fault reports and follow-up through system support. Participate in knowledge exchanges with operations in Denmark, Norway, and Poland to develop and implement best practices. What We're Looking For You have leadership experience, for example as a group leader, team leader, or with personnel responsibility. You have a technical background, preferably in mechanics, maintenance, or industrial production. You are structured and have good ability to prioritize between urgent and planned activities. You are present, communicative, and enjoy being out in the facility. You have a coaching approach and enjoy developing people. You are self-critical, solution-oriented, and driven by continuous improvement. You have the ability to build trust and bring the organization along in change work. Experience in welding, milling, or pneumatics is a plus. Experience with control and automation systems is desirable. What We Offer A key role in a growing operation. Opportunity to influence and improve work methods and processes. Close collaboration with engaged colleagues and management locally. A varied day-to-day where technology, leadership, and improvement work are in focus. About the Recruitment Process: In this recruitment process, Danica Foods AB is collaborating with Adecco.
