Manufacturing jobs in France

We’re looking for a proactive, detail-driven Production Controller to take ownership of our production tracking and fulfillment process. In this critical role, you will ensure that every order is followed up with precision and delivered on time. You will be the go-to person to unblock delays, align internal priorities, and push initiatives that keep our production aligned with customer commitments.

This is not a junior or entry-level role — we’re specifically seeking candidates with extensive hands-on experience in production environments who understand what it takes to coordinate across multiple teams and drive results.

Looking ahead : This role comes with clear development potential. As we grow and expand our global network of print farms, this position is expected to evolve into a transnational coordination role with broader strategic impact. If you’re excited about building something big and scalable, we’d love to talk.

Your profile

Key Responsibilities

• Order Tracking & Fulfillment : Ensure that all customer orders move through production as planned and are fulfilled on time. Closely track progress and anticipate delays before they occur.
• Cross-Functional Coordination : Actively communicate with production, logistics, development, and operations to make sure the right actions are taken at the right time to meet customer commitments.
• Production System Development : Help shape and evolve our production management system. Improve how we prioritize orders and visualize workflows to ensure team focus aligns with company and customer needs.
• Problem Solving & Escalation : Identify production bottlenecks or blockers. Escalate and coordinate resolution efficiently across teams.
• Communication : Provide transparent updates on production status and fulfillment timelines to internal and external stakeholders.
• Project Ownership : Drive internal improvement projects related to production control, order management, and reporting.

Skills and Experience

• Experience : 5+ years of experience in production control, operations coordination, or project management roles within manufacturing or industrial environments.
• Strong Personality : You are confident and composed, even in tense or unclear situations. You can mediate between teams and assertively drive alignment—without creating unnecessary friction.
• Resilient Under Pressure : You remain calm and solution-oriented under operational stress. You know how to prioritize when everything seems urgent, and you don't get overwhelmed.
• Project Management Mindset : You know how to run structured follow-ups, track action items, and bring clarity in fast-moving, cross-functional situations.
• Analytical & Organized : You’re detail-obsessed, process-oriented, and able to juggle multiple threads without dropping the ball.
• Systems Thinker : Experience with ERP, production planning, or order tracking systems is a plus. You're not just a user—you want to improve the system.

Location : Based in Hamburg. This role is on-site and hands-on—feet on the ground. Occasional remote work is fine but not the default.
