Operations Manager – Production & Warehouse | Lean & Continuous Improvement

Do you have passion for production, people, and continuous improvement?

At BouMatic, we are looking for a committed and proactive Operations Manager – Production & Warehouse who will take overall responsibility for production and warehouse operations at our factory in Skjern.

You will become a key member of the Danish organization and play an important role in the continued development of our operations. Together with your team leaders and employees, you will ensure a safe, stable, and efficient production environment with a strong focus on quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement.

We are not simply looking for an Operations manager who can keep production running. We are looking for a leader who is motivated by developing people, creating structure, optimizing processes, and building on a strong culture of continuous improvement.

You will have significant influence on daily operations and become a close sparring partner for the Managing Director in the work of developing the organization and delivering results that support BouMatic’s continued growth.

About BouMatic

BouMatic is a global company that develops and manufactures equipment and automated solutions for dairy farmers around the world.

The factory in Skjern is an important part of BouMatic’s European organization and plays a central role in the production and distribution of the company’s solutions to international customers.

At BouMatic, we are dedicated to developing our processes and creating a culture where employees take ownership, collaborate, and actively contribute to improvements. We believe the best results are achieved through strong leadership, engaged employees, and a structured approach to development.

About the position

As Operations Manager – Production & Warehouse, you will have overall responsibility for the daily operations of production and warehouse activities.

You will lead team leaders and employees and play a central role in both daily operations and the long-term development of the factory.

You will report directly to the Managing Director in Denmark and work closely with functions such as Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain – both locally and internationally.

You will take over an important role within the organization, where you will ensure efficient operations while also contributing to the continued development of how we work.

Your responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and developing production and warehouse operations with a focus on safety, quality, delivery, and productivity

• Creating strong daily operations through clear goals, structure, and follow-up

• Developing and motivating team leaders and employees through visible and engaged leadership

• Optimizing production flow, capacity, and material flow

• Actively working with Lean, 5S, and continuous improvement initiatives

• Following up on KPIs and ensuring a data-driven approach to improvement

• Identifying opportunities for increased efficiency and better utilization of resources

• Ensuring close collaboration across the organization

• Driving improvement projects that create value for employees, customers, and the business

You will have the opportunity to...

• Lead both production and warehouse operations in an international company

• Take on a role with significant influence and short decision-making processes

• Develop people, processes, and ways of working

• Make your mark on the continued development of the Skjern factory

• Work closely with Danish management as well as European and American colleagues

• Become part of a company where expertise, collaboration, and commitment are highly valued

We imagine that you...

You have a relevant technical or production-related education – for example as a Mechanical Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Bachelor of Engineering, Marine Engineer, or Production Technologist.

Alternatively, you have built a strong practical background combined with experience from a leadership role in a manufacturing company.

You thrive by being close to operations and your employees. You create results through others and are motivated by developing both people and processes.

Furthermore, we would like you to:

• Have practical experience working with Lean and continuous improvement

• Work in a structured and analytical manner with focus on KPIs and results

• Have experience with production planning and ERP systems

• Communicate clearly and naturally across the organization

• Be fluent in both Danish and English at a professional level

Become part of a company on an exciting development journey

At BouMatic, you will have the opportunity to become part of an international company where you are encouraged to take responsibility and make a difference.

We are on a development journey where we continue to strengthen our processes, collaboration, and ways of working. Therefore, we are looking for a leader who can create stability in daily operations while also driving development forward.

If you are motivated by combining leadership, production, and continuous improvement – and if you gain energy from creating results together with others – BouMatic offers an exciting role with great opportunities to make your mark.
