Lean Manufacturing Engineer
About the team
Our Improvement Team works at the core of the Thales Industrial transformation. We are proud to be part of the Supply Chain organization in Hengelo as a support department.
With a team of 450+ colleagues within the Supply Chain, we deliver on time high-technology systems to our customers without any compromise on quality. In the same time, we continuously strive to improve the satisfaction of all our customers.
The mission of our Improvement Team ? We bring together our Lean and Digital expertise to accelerate the learning pace and the industrial transformation of the Supply Chain. As change leaders, we value exemplarity, teamwork, listening and industrial expertise. We don’t like to fail, but we see failures as opportunities to improve !
About your future job
As a change leader you are directly connected to Thales Industrial strategy and stand for being a key stakeholder in building the Thales of the future. Your time as a Lean Manufacturing Engineer is, for the major part, spent on the floor working with the operational manager and her/his team to deploy Lean methods and tools in order to improve the performance. You pay specific attention to keep the operational team onboard and maintaining a trustful relationship with the management.
Throughout the week, you also join the frequent team meetings to share successes, difficulties or to work together on technical topics. Your agenda is also quite busy with meeting your project stakeholders to maintain alignment using your helicopter view abilities.
Acting as a project leader, you play an important role in accelerating the transformation of the Supply Chain organization. As every shop floor environment is different, you like complexity and spending time to solve problems in order to implement Lean in the most efficient way for the operational teams, always focusing on customer satisfaction.
The main tasks are:
- Analyze current situation and propose future state according to the Lean industrial strategy
- Implement, together with the operational teams, Lean Standards
- Develop Lean skills of the operational teams by coaching and training them
- Active participation to the Improvement Team life and propose ways to improve
Why you'd be a good match
We are looking for a teammate who preferably has a (industrial related) master degree. In terms of experience, it will be appreciated if you already have experienced Lean implementation in an industrial environment but our first concern is your drive for making things move forward. One of your goals is to continue to develop yourself, you are willing to learn and to work in a demanding context.
You are familiar with the Lean manufacturing system and people often praise you for your communication abilities. You speak fluent English and you are open-minded in adopting new styles of working. Plus, you have :
- Knowledge in Lean Manufacturing pillars : Just In Time, Jidoka
- Knowledge concerning lean tools and methods : Kanban, Andon, Pulled flow, Kaizen, VSM, SIM, A3 problem solving
- Knowledge of industrial standards : Planning, Logistics, ERP
- Experience in project management
What's in it for you
- A challenging job in a great team within our high-tech, innovative work environment. Includes the freedom for initiative and good ideas.
- Room for personal and professional growth within our organization, for example in regards to technical, commercial or international skills.
- Valuable international collaboration with coworkers from 68 different countries around the globe.
- A comfortable work space in a modern environment, with a focus on flexibility and the right work life balance.
- You can usually work where and whenever you want. Within Thales, we aim for a 60/40 balance, where you work from home at least two days a week, when your role allows this.
- A good salary, fitting travel allowance, and the ability to personalize your employment conditions: for instance, you can trade PTO for internet costs, our bicycle plan, company fitness and relocation costs.
- 40 days off per year(PTO). Yes, really.
