Engineering & Facility Manager (Dual-Site Leadership) Hillegom (NL) & Mönchengladbach (DE)

A leadership role for engineers who don’t just direct — they also roll up their sleeves and lead from the front

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering & Facility Manager who combines strategic leadership with a hands-on mindset — someone who is equally comfortable shaping long-term engineering strategy as they are stepping onto the shop floor to solve complex technical challenges when it matters.

This is not a typical role — it’s a unique dual challenge:

✅ Hillegom – a highly automated site focused on capability building and developing operators into true machine owners
✅ Mönchengladbach – a legacy site requiring transformation, modernisation, and infrastructure upgrades

You’ll play a critical role in ensuring both sites operate safely, reliably and in full GMP/FDA compliance, while shaping the future technical landscape.

What you’ll be responsible for:

Driving equipment reliability and maintenance excellence across both sites

Leading technical projects and CAPEX investments end-to-end

Ensuring full GMP, FDA, ISO and HSE compliance

Managing utilities and facility infrastructure (HVAC, power, water, etc.)

Acting as the bridge between Operations, Quality, Engineering and IT

What we’re looking for:

Significant experience in engineering, maintenance or facilities within manufacturing

Experience in regulated environments (GMP / FDA / ISO)

Proven success delivering technical projects & CAPEX programmes

Strong leadership and stakeholder management capability

A leader who sets the standard through action — willing to step in, troubleshoot and guide teams directly when needed

Why join? This is a high-impact leadership role where you will:

Drive real transformation, not just maintenance

Influence both day-to-day performance and long-term strategy

Lead across two contrasting environments — optimisation + transformation

Work in a role where hands-on leadership is valued, expected and critical to success
