Bucher Emhart Glass is part of an international group headquartered in Switzerland and is a world leader in the development and manufacturing of machines for the glass industry. The Swedish operations consist of two sites, in Örebro and Sundsvall, which together form an important part of the group's global organization for manufacturing and logistics. In Örebro, cutting operations and sub-assembly are carried out in a technically advanced production environment where quality, innovation, and collaboration are in focus.
We are now seeking a Plant Manager who wants to take overall responsibility for operations in Örebro and help continue developing both people, processes, and production. Here you will be part of an operation where technology and precision meet strong commitment to continuous improvement.
Your Future Challenge
As Plant Manager, you lead operations through your managers and are responsible for several different areas related to production. The role involves broad responsibility where you balance day-to-day operations with long-term development work.
You have seven direct reports—managers and specialists with varied experience and expertise. An important part of the assignment is to create conditions for them to succeed in their roles, build strong collaboration, and develop a culture characterized by openness, participation, and continuous improvement.
You report to the Global Vice President Logistics & Manufacturing, based in Sundsvall, and are part of the global leadership group for logistics and manufacturing where you play an important role in influencing the operation's development.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to lead a technically advanced production operation with significant autonomy and many international contact points.
– This is a role for someone who wants to make a difference. You get considerable freedom to drive the operation forward while having strong support from the organization. We're looking for someone who wants to develop, challenge, and create results together with others, says Juan Montes, VP Logistics & Manufacturing (VP L&M).
