• Experience with technical documentation and compliance-related requirements.
• Experience working with ERP systems, preferably SAP, and Microsoft 365.
• Fluent Danish and English skills, both written and spoken.

It would be an advantage if you also have

• Experience from a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.
• Knowledge of compliance requirements such as ATEX, UL or 3A.
• Experience with calibration processes and measuring equipment.
• Knowledge of ESD-controlled production environments.
• Understanding of workplace safety requirements.
• Experience with Lean or continuous improvement methodologies

Personal skills

To succeed in this role, you:

• Have a strong quality mindset and excellent attention to detail.
• Are structured and responsible in your approach to work.
• Thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working across functions.
• Can balance multiple priorities while maintaining focus on business needs.
• Are proactive and continuously seeking opportunities to improve processes.
• Work independently while knowing when to involve relevant stakeholders.
• Have a strong sense of urgency and adaptability when priorities change.

We offer

We offer a demanding and rewarding position in an innovative international company that is a world leader within analytical solutions for the food and agriculture industry.

You will become part of a highly skilled team where quality, collaboration and continuous improvement are central values. The position offers significant opportunities for personal and professional development as well as the possibility to influence how incoming quality control is developed in the future.

FOSS is currently transitioning production activities from Hillerød to our new state-of-the-art production and logistics facility in Vinge, Frederikssund.
