This is how you make impact as a Senior Continuous Improvement Specialist

The Senior Continuous Improvement Specialist takes a leading role in the improvement team and supports the Operations Manager and the production organization in managing the challenges of overseeing a large production operation. The focus will mainly be on production, but with strong cross-functional elements, particularly in Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain. You will be expected to initiate, facilitate, and collaborate with the organization to implement strategic plans and initiatives.

Your daily responsibilities include

The Senior Continuous Improvement Specialist uses Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to solve problems that have no simple solutions. Neways NAA focuses on high-mix, low-volume production, which brings unique dynamics and complexity. You will translate data into valuable information and implement improvements. You will work together with multiple Continuous Improvement colleagues and the broader organization to realize and sustain improvements.

  • Initiating, guiding, and implementing improvement projects that drive and monitor the growth of Neways NAA.
  • Supporting the development of NAA’s “strategic/operational” objectives.
  • Guiding and supporting large improvement programs.
  • Optimizing the current improvement structure within NAA.
  • Implementing lean management methods (e.g., standard work for leaders, 6S, Kaizen workshops, value stream mapping, SMED).
  • Training and coaching colleagues in Lean Production methods to support the achievement of goals.

This is what we offer

A warm work environment where personal contact is highly valued. We believe it’s important for you to continue developing yourself, so we offer room for personal growth with the freedom to take your own initiatives.

Additionally, we provide you with:

  • 27 vacation days.
  • 13 ADV days.
  • Flexible start and end times in a day shift schedule.
  • Pension plan.
  • Bicycle plan.

This is what you bring to the team

You easily connect with people and know how to motivate the organization to embrace the Lean philosophy. “Go to Gemba” energizes you, and you have a hands-on mentality. You are eager to learn and want to develop yourself and your colleagues. You are driven, decisive, and precise in your work and have a strong personality.

Additionally, we ask for:

  • A completed technical or business-related bachelor’s or master’s degree.
  • Relevant work experience in a production environment and a completed Black Belt certification is a plus.
