  Following relocation of all production to the Netherlands, I have been working for Sofis in the Netherlands as Production Manager of the assembly production department.I declined relocation on a permanent basis; as I have a young son and seek a permanent position closer to home (Tiptree, Essex) in the UK.During my time in the Netherlands my role was to advise the Dutch team, set up and train the assembly production personnel ensuring that all personnel have the appropriate skills required to ensure that the assembly of interlocks following transfer to the Netherlands was successful.In addition to managing the overall department, I was responsible for resource planning, setting up systems and processes for the future, identifying gaps in current personnel’s training and delivering training to address these areas. I have now completed my contract in the Netherlands and am available with immediate effect for work in the UK. Show less
