Manager Technology
The technology department of FrieslandCampina in Veghel – the largest dairy processing site in the world – is undergoing one of the most ambitious transformations in the industry. Over the coming years, the factory will evolve into a smart, sustainable, and future-proof production site, driven by major investments and a shift towards new raw materials and advanced processing technologies. All of this will happen while production continues at full scale — making this a uniquely complex and high-impact environment.
As a Technology Manager, you will take ownership of key parts of this transformation. You will lead a team of technologists and drive improvements in critical processes such as evaporation, crystallization, filtration, and industrial packaging.
You will play a central role in delivering a multi-million investment program, guiding both people and technology through change — ensuring that new processes, products, and ways of working are successfully implemented in a controlled and sustainable way.
This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, combines strong process technology expertise with leadership skills, and is motivated to make a real impact on a site that operates at global scale.
