Job description

Wefabricate is a manufacturing company that combines automation and design to produce products and prototypes much faster and at scale. We set a new standard for industrial excellence. Efficient, flexible and of the highest quality.

A new standard for industrial excellence. A place where the most talented people in our industry can grow and thrive. We create progress and impact for our planet.

Our motto work hard, have fun and make history is not for everyone. Our people take full ownership and responsibility. But also work on things that truly excite them and are able to work flexible hours. It’s not the job ladder that defines seniority. But people’s talent, expertise and attitude.

The job:

Process Owner Assembly

As Process Owner Assembly, you own the assembly process itself. You don't run the team day to day. You decide, together with the organization, where assembly needs to go over the next one to three years and what it takes to get there.

You stay close to operations. You listen to what the floor tells you and turn it into structural, scalable solutions. You work directly with the Team Coordinator, the Process Engineer, and the Manufacturing Engineer. No layers in between. Together you raise the level of our processes, standards, and technical capability, and you give the production team what they need for continuous improvement.

Your focus is prevention, not reaction. You know assembly techniques inside out, you look for the ones that let us handle increasingly complex and varied products, and you push toward further automation. The direction is clear: a more autonomous, self-steering team, on an assembly process built to carry the next few years of growth.

Our culture is hands-on and ambitious: real ownership, short lines, and a sharp focus on getting things done.

What will you do?

You own the assembly process end to end and take responsibility for how it develops.

You build a clear vision for assembly and translate it into concrete steps for the next one to three years.

You spot structural bottlenecks and risks early and solve them together with operations, before they turn into disruptions.

You drive continuous improvement with Lean, Six Sigma, and similar methods, and you see improvements through to implementation.

You turn signals from the floor into practical, technical, future-proof solutions.

You guard, improve, and professionalize the standards across the assembly process.

You work directly with the Team Coordinator, Process Engineer, and Manufacturing Engineer to keep the process and the production team moving forward.

You research and apply new assembly techniques so we can keep assembling more complex and more diverse products, reliably.

You work toward automation and scalability, with an autonomous, self-steering team as the long-term goal.

What do you bring?

You're analytical and technically curious. You want to actually understand how assembly works, not just manage around it.

“That's how we've always done it” isn't an answer for you. You dig until you find the real cause.

You're independent and decisive, but you know lasting process improvement only happens when engineering and operations work closely together.

You think ahead: structural fixes over quick patches, prevention over reaction.

You translate a long-term vision into standards, automation, and improvements people can actually act on.

What do we offer you?

A dynamic, fast-growing scale-up with short lines and plenty of ownership

Plenty of freedom, responsibility and impact within an ambitious organization

Requirements

A completed Bachelor's or Master's degree, for example in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.

Strong knowledge of and affinity with assembly processes and techniques in a technical production environment.

Experience with process optimization and improvement methods such as Lean or Six Sigma.
