Role Overview

The Frontline Manager Maintenance Nacht position is a dynamic leadership role within PepsiCo's night shift operations in Veurne, Belgium. This isn't your traditional supervisory job—it's a coaching position where you'll lead a team of skilled technicians to keep production lines running smoothly around the clock. You'll troubleshoot technical disruptions, plan preventive maintenance, and drive continuous improvements in collaboration with production teams. Working exclusively through partners like Randstad, CTRL-F, and Konvert, PepsiCo seeks proactive leaders who thrive in a fast-paced, high-tech industrial setting. If you enjoy autonomy, night shift independence, and making a tangible impact on machine reliability and team growth, this role at PepsiCo's expanding Veurne facility is your opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain a clear overview of operations, make decisive calls, and delegate tasks effectively so everyone knows their role.
• Plan and execute maintenance schedules to ensure machines remain reliable and performant in our advanced production park.
• Partner with daytime production teams to implement improvements that enhance safety, efficiency, and ease of operations.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Exceptional communication skills and a passion for coaching and developing team members.
