Mayekawa Nordic A/S has again asked us to find the right person for a central role in the company. They are now seeking a production-technical specialist who thrives at the intersection of development, production and people. You could say they are looking for someone who can take a product from the drawing board and prepare it to be built. Over and over again.

The company is based in Middelfart and acts as the Nordic development center for the Japanese group Mayekawa. The company develops industrial cooling systems and heat pumps and is especially known for the mCHILLER series, which uses the natural refrigerant ammonia and thereby achieves high energy efficiency and sustainability.

Role

Mayekawa Nordic is creating a new Industrialization department at the Middelfart office, and with it a new position as a production-technical specialist. The department's task is to ensure that the products the development department designs can actually be produced. And it will be you who takes responsibility for building the department from the ground up together with a production-technical supporter.

The position has no managerial responsibility, but you will be responsible for the technical direction and for ensuring that tasks are completed and operations run smoothly, while you yourself take on a large part of the professional work. By your side you will have a production-technical supporter, who is also being hired now, and with whom you will work closely.

Together with the head of development, whom you report to, you will determine what the department must be capable of, and you will build the workflows for it. You will sit at the table when development and production must agree on how things can be done better, and although this sometimes means long meetings, that is also where you make the biggest difference.

Mayekawa has a production unit in Serbia, with which you will have a lot of contact, and you should therefore expect that the position entails up to 50 travel days per year.

Responsibilities

In collaboration with Mayekawa Nordic's management you will build the department from the ground up and define, develop and set the framework for how it will work. Your areas of responsibility will:

• Building the department's workflows and processes
• That the department ensures thorough maturation of the products, so they can safely go from development to production
• Contact with the three partners: development in Denmark, parent company in Japan, and production in Serbia
• Sourcing agreements in collaboration with strategic procurement

Areas of work

A large part of your time will be spent on concrete technical tasks

• CAD automation across product families and variants
• Working with product variants and assessing what a change affects
• Design-for-assembly improvements
• Integration of quality assurance into the development processes
• Development of systems for generating customer documentation packages
• Integration of new product features into existing product lines

Professional competencies

We care more about what you have done than what is on your diploma. You can be a PTA, production technologist, marine engineer, mechanical technician, technical designer or engineer. You can also be tradesperson with further education and many years close to production. The crucial thing is that you have been at the intersection of development and production before and know where things typically go wrong in practice.

You will be the first in the department, so you must be able to contribute from day one. Therefore you must have solid experience with:

• Inventor and Vault, preferably also automation and setup of workflows
• Mechanical design and assembly processes
• Production technology
• ERP and PDM systems

If you have knowledge of welding, sheet metal processing, pipes and fittings, that is an advantage.

You speak and write English at a level where you can explain technical details and negotiate solutions with colleagues in Japan and Serbia.

Who you are

You take responsibility and do not wait to be asked, and you are good at seeking out the knowledge needed to solve a task. You are good at building and maintaining relationships, and you are not afraid to take the lead when necessary, but also understand giving space to others when it is their turn to lead.

You have the desire and drive to build systems, improve them and keep them running. You finish tasks rather than jumping to the next, and you easily navigate an organization that is not yet structured. Because that is exactly what you and your colleague will do: create the structure that is not there yet.

It would be an advantage if you have interest/experience in working in an international environment, with relationships and contacts beyond the country's borders.

Mayekawa Nordic offers

• An independent job with a lot of freedom to organize the work yourself
• Good opportunities to develop professionally
• Colleagues with an informal tone and a good atmosphere
• A good compensation package with pension and health insurance
• Flexible working hours that fit your travel activities
• Option for remote work.

Your primary workplace is at the office in Middelfart.

Is this you who will build the department?

Are you the one who makes things work when the drawing has to become a real product? Can you see yourself sharing responsibility in building something that does not exist yet, while having your hands in the technical work along the way? Do you want to make your mark on a department from day one, without having to be a people manager? Then we would love to hear from you. Whether you have an engineering title or have learned the trade on the shop floor.

Practical terms

The optimal start date is November 1, 2026, but the right candidate matters more than the date, so we are flexible. Therefore there is no fixed application deadline.

We hold interviews on an ongoing basis and will close the process when we have found the right person.

If you want to join, just send your application.

Important: Application and CV must be sent via the Application link so we get your material into our recruitment system (GDPR).
