As a Director Manufacturing Services, your main role will be to shape and lead programs that consist of strategizing, designing and implementing improvement initiatives in a manufacturing environment. These initiatives might be linked to a range of our offerings, like Industry 4.0, Operational excellence, performance turnaround, asset and maintenance management, quality etc.
