OpEx Engineer (M/F/X)

The Role

For our ambitious, fast‑growing team in Lisses we are looking for an OpEx Engineer. Working in the Operational Excellence team you take a leading role in improving our operations. As an Operational Excellence Engineer you are responsible for identifying improvements within Production (end to end). You have a key role in bringing our current operations to another level (lower cost, better productivity and quality) and support the implementation of the operational culture and roadmap.

Therefore you constantly and proactively highlight the loss of productivity, cost, quality, or risk to safety and propose solutions based on thorough analysis of cause and effect. You help the teams conduct root‑cause analysis when reoccurring issues, and you help them implement long‑term solutions. You help bring our current operations to another level (lower cost, better productivity and quality) and support the implementation of the operational excellence culture and roadmap. You are part of a bigger team that regroups the OpEx engineers from three markets (so‑called conventional cluster); together we aim to standardize and harmonize the processes.

What you’ll do

• Process Improvement & Efficiency: Continuously evaluate and improve operational systems and processes to boost efficiency, quality, and reduce waste and costs.
• Lean & Problem‑Solving Tools: Implement lean methodologies and structured problem‑solving tools such as DMAIC, 5 Why’s, and Cause & Effect diagrams.
• Project Leadership: Identify, lead, and execute improvement projects aligned with business strategies, ensuring successful rollout and adoption.
• Collaboration & Change Management: Work closely with cross‑functional teams, acting as a change agent to drive a culture of operational excellence and standardization.
• Standardization & Visual Management: Develop and implement standard work procedures, visual factory tools, and error‑proofing mechanisms to support process harmonization across the cluster.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in production or logistics with a strong focus on high‑volume manufacturing environments.
• Proven track record in production optimization, continuous improvement, and launching new processes.
• Strong analytical and hands‑on problem‑solving skills; confident in coaching and implementing Lean/Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt is a plus).
• Solid knowledge of SOPs, lean principles (e.g., Toyota Production System), and process adherence.
• Effective leadership and influencing skills, capable of engaging all levels from shop floor to senior management.
• Fluent in English; Swedish language skills are a plus.

We offer

• A diverse and vibrant international environment
• The chance to have a significant impact on one of the fastest‑growing technology companies in Europe
• Delicious discounts on our HelloFresh boxes
• Employee benefits (Alan Blue health insurance, transport discount, Wellpass access)
