Site Manager Coolrec

Do you thrive in a dynamic environment full of innovative challenges? Are you ready for a leadership role that focuses on results while driving positive change for your site and for society at large? Join us at the heart of the circular economy, at one of the world’s leading plastics recycling facilities. This leadership role plays a key part in reducing society’s dependency on new, virgin plastics by producing the highest quality (“near virgin”) recycled plastics.

Site Manager Plastics - Waalwijk, fulltime

As the Site Manager, you will lead our production site in Waalwijk, where waste plastics are processed and refined into high-quality granulates, ready for application in consumer products. Our key input material is e-waste, which is recycled at our other facilities in Western Europe. The plastics derived from this process arrive in Waalwijk for advanced recycling. Each year, we process more than 30,000 tons of plastics, producing materials that are over 98% pure and ready for reuse. With multiple processing lines, an in-house laboratory and frequent customer visits, you’ll be at the centre of innovation and further production and quality improvements.

Your mission :

  • Strategic Leadership : Shape our strategic direction and foster a collaborative, growth-oriented team environment.
  • Site Operations : Manage all site activities, from incoming materials to outgoing shipments, optimizing operational costs while maintaining highest quality product output.

  • Safety & Compliance : Ensure the site meets and continuously improves all SHEQ goals (Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality).

Your Team :

You will lead a team of three Supervisors (Maintenance, Production / Logistics and Quality) with approximately 5 employees per shift, working in a five shift system. Additionally, you’ll collaborate closely with supporting functions, including Engineering, Business Development, Sales and SHEQ.
