Operations Manager Joosten Kunststoffen

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

As Operations Manager of Joosten Kunststoffen in Bemmel, you will provide daily leadership to both the inside and outside sales teams. You combine leadership, commercial instinct, and the “we’ve got this” mindset that defines Joosten. Together with 13 colleagues, you form a close-knit team. You coach, connect, and drive collaboration and results. The territory is divided into three regions, each with its own field sales representative and team of inside sales specialists.

You are responsible for the commercial performance of the location and ensure everyone knows what they’re working toward. You focus not only on numbers, but also on behavior, mindset, and personal development. You maintain oversight, know when to intervene, and turn plans into concrete actions — all with a healthy dose of energy, humor, and dedication.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?

You’re a true connector who knows how to motivate people and get things moving. You know how to build a team that complements each other and delivers results. At the same time, you have a keen eye for commercial opportunities and aren’t afraid to make decisions. You have a bachelor’s degree level of thinking and working (HBO) and at least three years of experience in a leadership role. Experience in the civil engineering (GWW) sector is a plus, but not a requirement.

You’re available full-time (40 hours), resilient under pressure, and analytically strong. You know how to turn goals into action — and how to bring your team along with you. Proactive? Definitely. Results-driven? Absolutely. But above all: you make it work, for everyone on the team.

WHAT DO WE OFFER YOU?

A key role within a fast-growing organization driven by ambition, boldness, and action. You’ll have the freedom to build, accelerate, and grow in your role. We offer an informal, collaborative work environment — plus some fun (and sometimes unexpected) extras. Naturally, this comes with a competitive salary, excellent employment conditions, and the tools you need to do your job well: a company car, laptop, and phone.
