Meet your future team

You will join Center of Excellence (CoE) Assembly in Østbirk, where we work at the intersection of operations and development. The CoE Assembly is a global team currently located in Østbirk. We are a team of project managers and technical specialists focusing on the future Assembly setup in VELUX.

We have a holistic view on the entire supply chain to make sure the assembly line is as efficiency as possible, safe for our people and according to our process standard and quality requirement. Our focus is on NPL projects and on cost out on both new and existing production lines. The function focuses on developing and improving assembly solutions in close collaboration with production, ensuring that ideas and concepts become technically feasible and practical solutions on the shop floor.

In this role, you will collaborate with colleagues and stakeholders based in Denmark, while also supporting selected assembly sites in Europe when relevant.

What we offer

You will work hands-on with the development, improvement, and implementation of production and assembly cells, contributing with both technical expertise and practical understanding. You will be involved in projects covering both new solutions and optimization of existing setups.
