Are you an organized, data-driven leader with a passion for operational excellence and electronics? Do you want to play a key role in the sustainable world of battery repair and the circular economy? At NOWOS, we are looking for a driven Battery Repair Lead to own and elevate our repair operations team in Amersfoort.

What will you do?

As our Battery Repair Lead, you will own the end-to-end battery repair process performance and day-to-day execution. You will ensure safe operations, strict SOP adherence, and ISO 9001-aligned quality. Your mission is to drive predictable delivery, stable lead times, and continuous improvement through robust planning, audit discipline, and equipment readiness.

Your core responsibilities:

• Planning & Flow Management: Translate demand and backlog into daily/weekly execution plans (staffing, workstation balancing, WIP control) and protect SLAs through rapid problem-solving.

• Process & Quality Control: Enforce the repair Control Plan, lead containment actions for quality risks, and drive CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) investigations alongside the QMS team.

• Traceability & Audits: Govern local Repair ERP traceability to ensure flawless data quality per unit, and execute the local Repair Audit and Equipment Calibration Plans.

• Team Leadership & Coaching: Manage, schedule, and coach your team of Technicians and Team Leads, overseeing their onboarding, qualification plans, and performance reviews.

• Safety Enforcement: Maintain a strict safety culture, ensuring absolute electrical safety, ESD discipline, and proper handling/escalation triggers for damaged lithium-ion batteries.

Who are we looking for?

We hire for leadership, process discipline, and a strong safety mindset. If you are a natural coordinator who thrives in a structured, quality-driven environment and knows how to motivate a technical team, we want to hear from you.

We are looking for a data-driven leader who prioritizes safety and quality, communicates effectively in English, and holds the authority to "stop the line" when standards are not met.

Your profile:

• Mindset: A strong process-ownership mindset with deep ISO 9001/QMS discipline (controlled documentation, records, and nonconformities) and a continuous improvement attitude.

• Skills: Strong leadership capabilities, station-balancing expertise, and a data-driven approach to tracking daily and weekly KPIs.

• Safety First: A robust understanding of electrical safety, ESD discipline, and the safe handling of lithium-ion batteries.

• Desired Training: Required training at a Lead Level, including specific team management and leadership training.

• Desired Experience: Proven track record leading repair or production operations (experience with battery repair or electro-mechanical products is highly preferred).

What do we offer?

• A challenging, high-impact leadership position in a rapidly growing, innovative industry.

• A competitive salary tailored to your experience level, based on a 40-hour work week.

• 26 vacation days per year.

• A flexible pension scheme.

• Continuous professional development and a structured work environment focused on continuous improvement.

• The opportunity to contribute directly to a more sustainable future and the green energy transition.
