About Westermo

Westermo is a global technology company that develops robust data communication solutions for critical infrastructure, such as railways, energy, and industrial networks. Our products are used in environments where reliability is crucial.

Our main factory is located in Stora Sundby outside Eskilstuna and serves as the group's “core plant” for production, industrialization, and method development. Here we develop processes and working methods that are implemented in our factories in Sweden, Germany, Ireland, and India.

Westermo is in a strong growth phase with increased investments and a clear ambition to continue expanding globally.

As a production technology manager, you will be responsible for developing and leading the work within production technology and production development in the factory in Stora Sundby.

The role is part of an organizational initiative where we strengthen leadership to handle an increasingly complex operation while creating conditions for future growth.

You will lead a team of about 11 employees and work closely with production, test technology, quality, and other central functions in the business.

Your mission is to ensure that our production processes continue to develop towards higher capacity, increased automation, and improved efficiency, with a particular focus on strengthening our journey towards a more digitalized and smart factory.

Examples of responsibilities:

• Lead and develop the team within production technology and production development
• Drive the development of production processes from incoming materials to finished products
• Be responsible for technical improvement initiatives within automation, digitalization, and AI
• Ensure the right capacity and technical conditions in the factory in line with increased demand
• Participate in business planning and S&OP to ensure the right machine capacity
• Work structured with KPIs, budget, and follow-up
• Industrialize new products in close collaboration with R&D
• Contribute to and drive global projects related to the role as core plant
• Help develop the factory in Stora Sundby towards a more digitalized, smart, and world-leading production

We are looking for an experienced leader in production or production technology who thrives in an environment where technology, development, and improvement work are at the center.

You have a strong ability to combine strategic thinking with operational execution and are driven by developing both people and processes.

To succeed in this role, we see that you have:

• Experience in leading roles within production, production technology, or industrial development
• Good understanding of industrial manufacturing processes
• Experience in improvement work, automation, or digitalization in production
• Academic education in engineering or equivalent experience
• Experience with budget, KPI monitoring, and business development
• Very good knowledge of Swedish and English
• Experience from electronics production, EMS, or complex manufacturing industry is an advantage.
  

As a person, you are structured, development-driven, and clear in your leadership. You have the ability to create engagement in the team while driving change in a technically advanced environment.

At Westermo, you will have the opportunity to take a central role in the development of advanced electronics production in an international technology company with strong future prospects.

Here, the fast decision-making paths and entrepreneurial spirit of a smaller company are combined with the resources and long-term perspective of a global corporation.

You will be part of shaping the next step in our growth journey, where the goal is to double production capacity in the factory in Stora Sundby over the coming years.
