You will oversee the entire value chain from operations and portfolio to commercial performance ensuring profitable and sustainable growth.

Lead the local management team, which includes the functions of Quality, Sales Operations, Project Management, Supply Chain and Engineering, ensuring alignment, collaboration, and high performance across the unit.
Act as a visible, hands-on leader in a small, co-located organization where teamwork, accessibility, and daily presence are essential.
Qualifications for the role
You are engaged, curious, and skilled in tools and methodologies relevant to the railway and off-highway motor market.
5+ years of business leadership experience in an operational environment, supported by solid work experience. Experience from a similar role is not required but considered a strong advantage.
Strong knowledge of LEAN, operations management, and leading high-performing teams.
A genuine passion for people leadership, development, and continuous improvement.
A degree in Engineering or equivalent, with a proven track record of running operations or managing a business successfully.
