Do you share our passion for continuous improvement? Would you like to join our journey to be the leader in our industry and unleash the full potential in the way we operate?
We are currently seeking a Continuous Improvement Specialist to our site in Malmö. This is an exciting opportunity for you who would like to take our continuous improvement journey to the next level and at the same time, be offered great possibilities to grow within CI.

What you will do?

AkzoNobel are using what we call ALPS (AkzoNobel Leading Performance Systems), ensuring company-wide standardized processes, a culture of continuous improvement, process-centric behaviours, company values and required capabilities. ALPS focusses on Manufacturing - mainly production, maintenance, technology and QC – but also reaches Supply Chain, Procurement, HSE and Engineering.

As our CI Specialist you support the business by driving CI and operational excellence initiatives focusing on both technical and non-technical aspects. With ALPS implemented, our focus is to ensure it gets fully used and successfully absorbed into our daily work where you will be taking the important role in visualizing the profits of working with CI. You will help to engage by proving the value it brings for the organization by support, coach and train key stakeholders and employees.

Who you are?

To be successful in this position we believe that you have an analytical and structured mindset in the way of working. You are a good team player with networking skills and a strong ability to communicate on all levels in the organization. You are able to drive change and improvements by creating engagement and we believe you enjoy working in high pace within a changing environment.

Key competencies that we see you possess are:

Degree within a technical, business or economic field

5+ years relevant working experience in similar roles on an operational level, e.g production, maintenance, logistics, process engineering, continuous improvement

Experience in change processes and continuous improvement tools; Lean and/or Six Sigma implementations/certifications or similar is a strong advantage

Proved capability within project management

Fluent in Swedish and English, written and spoken

Not at least and one of the most important qualities is to show your passion for your profession and your unpretentious attitude. In this role, much of the CI work is still undone and you should be ready to roll up your sleeves to get the job done together with the business. You are a genuine team player who wants to contribute to our success – to grow and deliver and be the leader in our industry.

Why should you work at AkzoNobel?

At AkzoNobel we offer a warm and inclusive atmosphere where we work together as one to reach our goal of being the reference in color and protection. With focus on diversity and innovation we actively work with our co-workers for you to thrive and continuously develop. This is also the basis to why we were appointed one of Sweden's Career companies 2021.
