Where will you be working?
Doeko Hightech Tooling, based in Weurt, specializes in the development and production of precision mechanical components and tooling for the high-tech industry. Their products are used in environments where tolerances are extremely tight and reliability is essential.
They work for clients such as ASML, Nexperia, and KTM—organizations where production processes only function if every single component performs exactly as intended.
Within Doeko, this means thinking beyond “serial production” and focusing on process control. Production, engineering, and work preparation work closely together to make complex products fully reproducible.
The organization is technically driven, practically organized, and characterized by short communication lines. Decisions are made close to the shop floor. Craftsmanship is central, but the real challenge lies in optimizing how all disciplines within production work together.
Due to growth and further professionalization, there is an opening for a Production Manager.
What will you do?
As Production Manager, you are responsible for the daily management of the production organization. You lead a team of approximately 25 FTE, consisting of specialists in milling, turning, grinding, EDM, and tooling technology.
The current Production Manager is moving into the role of Operations Manager. In this position, you will work closely together and receive active guidance. You will act as their right hand and be responsible for the operational management of production.

- Initiating practical improvements aimed at increasing efficiency and reliability;
- Developing and maintaining a training and development plan;

- Motivating team members.
You are present on the production floor every day and continuously switch between people, planning, and technology. When objectives are not met, you analyze the causes and make adjustments where necessary.

- A completed HBO (Bachelor’s level) degree, for example in Technical Business Administration or Supply Chain Management;
- Experience in a managerial role within a production environment;
- Understanding of production processes and planning challenges;
- Strong organizational skills and a good sense of priorities;

Who are you?
You are a process thinker who is able to maintain oversight and identify connections. You can zoom out when necessary, but also quickly switch to day-to-day operations.

You are practical, self-starting, and know how to bring structure to a dynamic production environment.
