  • provide quality support for production, e.g. when processes are altered. In those cases, it will be your job to ensure that changes do not compromise on quality

  This will happen in close collaboration with our logistics, the R&D department and the production. Look forward to a varied job containing tasks that call for your ability to be self-driven and systematic but at the same time understand the importance of teamwork.

  • are fluent in English, and preferably in Danish also

  It will be seen as an advantage if you have flair for IT and can familiarise yourself with our different systems, as well as knowledge of equipment for automated assembly and packaging and an understanding for simplicity.
  
  As a person, you are analytical, systematic and possess excellent communication skills. You are curious, willing to learn and good at asking questions.
