TTS Technologies B.V. in Coevorden seeks a Managing Director to lead the organization, combining strategic leadership with commercial decisiveness. You will align engineering, production and sales to deliver growth and long-term value.
You will grow international visibility, deepen key account relationships, and drive opportunities across markets while reporting to the shareholders and building an ownership culture throughout the SME.
Are you an entrepreneurial leader with technical affinity and commercial acumen? Do you get energy from short lines, building customer relations and developing new markets within a down-to-earth SME environment? Then we are looking for you as our new Managing Director.
Who we are
Mechanical engineering is in our DNA. Within STC Solutions we develop and build powerful, customized solutions for demolition, civil engineering and transshipment. What started in 2004 in Coevorden has grown into an internationally operating specialist in high-performance machines up to 300 tons.
We do not build standard products, but customer-specific solutions. That requires technical depth, entrepreneurship and strong customer relationships. As an SME, we work with short lines of communication and direct involvement between engineering, production and sales. In addition to mechanical engineering, we offer engineering, steel construction, service and lifecycle maintenance. This keeps us involved with our customers and projects for the long term.
As part of TTS Technologies, we work with strong industrial partners, while maintaining our own SME identity and entrepreneurial culture.
The position
As Business Manager you are ultimately responsible for the entire organization. You combine strategic leadership with commercial decisiveness. Together with the teams within the organization and supported by TSS, you give direction to both the strategic and operational course.
Commerce is an important part of your role. You maintain and deepen relationships with key accounts, identify market opportunities and develop new business. You increase our international visibility and play an active role in large offers, negotiations and strategic customer processes.
Within STC you are visible and involved. You manage the daily operations and monitor commercial, technical and financial performance. You provide structure, clear objectives and a results-oriented culture in which ownership and entrepreneurship are central.
Sales, Engineering, Project Management, Production, Finance and HR report to you. You report directly to the shareholders.
You have at least 5 years of experience in a final or senior management role within an SME manufacturing company, preferably in mechanical engineering or heavy industry. You are all-round, but clearly commercially driven: you know how to achieve sales growth and build lasting customer relationships.
You manage both commerce and operations and translate strategy into concrete results. You have proven experience with growth, market development and strengthening the position of a technical organization. You are used to manage budgets, margins and concrete results.
You have experience in managing and coaching teams within a project-based production environment and know how to bring structure and clear agreements where necessary. Knowledge of relevant laws and regulations within a technical production environment is an advantage.
You have a college or university level of education with a technical or business background. You are entrepreneurial, decisive and visible in the organization and in the market. International experience is a clear plus.
You have a good command of Dutch and English. German is an advantage.
What makes you successful in this role?
You are visible and approachable within an organization with short lines of communication
You bring focus and priority to a dynamic environment
You take responsibility and encourage ownership within teams
You know how to involve people in change and growth
You communicate clearly and convincingly, both internally and towards customers and partners
We offer
A key position within a technically strong and internationally operating SME with ambitious growth plans. A lot of room for entrepreneurship, short lines of communication and direct influence on the commercial course and further development of the organization.
