Unilever is seeking a Maintenance Leader for our factory in Odense. At our factory, we produce detergents under our strong brands such as Neutral, Biotex, and OMO. Our goal is to offer the best products in detergents to our consumers and be the best supplier to our customers. Our strong brands stand for quality, service, and innovation.

It is essential for the factory's performance that the production equipment functions every day and that our production lines run as smoothly as possible.

We are looking for a Maintenance Leader who has the skills and desire to lead this work, where the overall focus will be on improving uptime on the lines. This will be achieved by strengthening preventive maintenance, identifying potential improvements on the lines, along with implementing them. In addition to this, we also have exciting projects running concurrently, so you will also be part of this project team to varying extents. In this position, you will report to the Maintenance & Engineering Lead.

• Solution-oriented, pragmatic, and not afraid to take the lead when there are challenges (currently, there are 3 technicians permanently assigned to the factory).
