Een dag uit het leven

The Medtronic site located in Kerkrade, the Netherlands, is positioned close to the EMEA Distribution Centre as well as the Bakken Research Centre. Currently, the site is being transformed from a manual, analogue, and standalone manufacturing environment into a data-driven and connected key supply chain node. The site assembles configurable perfusion packs used as an interface between patients and the heart-lung machine during open-heart surgery.
For the Kerkrade site, we are looking for a Supervisor who will be positioned within the Operations department, reporting to the Operations Manager and contributing to the end-to-end door-to-door value stream.
In this role, you will work closely not only with fellow Operations Supervisors but also with key supporting functions including Finance, Quality, Engineering, Operational Excellence, Sourcing, and Planning. As such, you will act as a broad generalist, with the curiosity and capability to dive deeper into specific topics when required in order to support operational performance and cross-functional collaboration.

The successful candidate will start with a comprehensive onboarding and training period designed to build a strong understanding of the Kerkrade site, its processes, and the end-to-end value stream. During this phase, the focus will be on learning the operations, building cross-functional relationships, and developing a solid foundation within the business. During this period, the role will not yet include formal supervisory responsibilities and you will be working in two shifts rotating on a weekly basis (5:45am-14:15pm and 14:15-11:00pm). Depending on prior experience, this development phase may last up to one year, after which the candidate will gradually transition into full supervisory responsibilities.
Following this initial phase, the candidate will progressively build traction and influence within the end-to-end value stream, contributing to and leading cross-functional initiatives and improvement projects. From there, multiple career development paths may open, including:
• Line leadership, taking on the role of Functional Supervisor leading a team of assembly and/or warehouse operators
• Project leadership, driving operational or cross-functional improvement initiatives
• Opportunities within Planning or Sourcing, depending on business needs and the individual’s strengths and interests

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Support and contribute to the end-to-end door-to-door value stream within the Kerkrade Operations environment
• Collaborate closely with Operations Supervisors and cross-functional teams including Finance, Quality, Engineering, Operational Excellence, Sourcing, Planning, and Distribution
• Analyse and structure operational data, extract insights, and develop actionable controls to improve operational performance
• Contribute to and lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, and other operational excellence methodologies
• Support the digitization of operational processes and help shape data structures that enable better decision-making and performance monitoring
• Engage actively with stakeholders across the organization, from shopfloor operators to senior leadership, to drive alignment and operational improvements
• Participate in and eventually lead cross-functional projects and transformation initiatives within the value stream
• After the onboarding period, transition into supervisory and/or project leadership responsibilities within the Operations organization

Required Knowledge and Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Management, or a related field.
• Ambitious early-career professional with strong potential and motivation to grow within an operations and manufacturing environment.
• Passion for products, processes, and people, with a strong interest in continuous improvement (knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC; Green/Black Belt is a plus).
• Hands-on and data-driven mindset, capable of structuring, extracting, and analysing data to generate actionable insights and operational controls.
• Strong interest in digitization and data engineering, with the ability and curiosity to leverage data to drive operational performance.
• Dynamic communicator, comfortable interacting with stakeholders at all levels—from shopfloor operators to senior leadership.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across functions such as Sourcing, Engineering, Quality, Sales, and Distribution.
• Result-oriented and proactive, with leadership potential to contribute to and drive cross-functional initiatives and complex improvement projects across the value stream.
