Administratieve vacatures Groningen

As a Master Planner at Bollegraaf, you play a central role in our organization. In this position, you are responsible for the integrated supply chain planning of our international projects. You manage the entire chain in such a way that strategic priorities, project results, and operational capacity are balanced—and maximum business value is realized.

You manage the chain so that decisions are not made only under pressure, but are made in a timely and well-founded manner. You identify bottlenecks early, provide insight into them, and actively propose solutions. In doing so, you prevent decision‑making from escalating or being delayed unnecessarily and make a direct contribution to delivery reliability, efficiency, and scalable growth.

The role goes beyond planning alone: you contribute directly to optimizing business results and predictability. You create clarity and stability in a complex environment where engineering, procurement, production, and logistics are closely interconnected.

You start with the big picture: which projects are running, what is coming up, and where tensions are arising in the chain. In doing so, you explicitly look beyond capacity and deadlines alone and include the impact on the business result in your considerations.

You analyze, establish connections, and provide structure. You coordinate closely with sales, project management, engineering, operations, and supply chain, ensuring that choices are based on insight and scenarios.

You are the one who looks ahead, develops alternatives, and makes timely adjustments. You ensure that the organization makes realistic and feasible choices—without the need for excessive escalation or coordination. At the same time, you work on improving planning methodologies, standardization, and data‑driven management, so that planning increasingly becomes a reliable foundation for our operations.

You direct the chain planning but do not interfere with the substantive execution of projects or project control. That remains the responsibility of project management and the involved teams.

• You develop, manage, and optimize integrated supply chain planning.
• You translate project requirements, capacity, and strategic priorities into a balanced and feasible overall plan.
• You manage the entire chain in such a way that strategic priorities, project results, and operational capacity are balanced — and maximum business value is realized.
• You identify bottlenecks in both planning and business results and proactively come up with concrete solutions.
• You manage planning and capacity alignment across departments.
• You substantiate choices to management with scenarios and analyses.
• You actively contribute to the further professionalization of planning processes, methodologies, and tooling.

• You possess an appropriate level of work and thinking and can operate both analytically and practically.
• You have relevant experience in a planning, operations, or supply chain role within a technical, project‑driven environment.
• You are capable of holistic thinking and steering across departmental boundaries.
• You combine analytical skills with a hands‑on mentality: you not only see what can be improved, but also ensure it happens.
• You naturally take ownership, dare to make choices, focus on results, and know how to bring others along in decisions.
• You are someone who not only identifies bottlenecks, but solves them.
• You analyze issues based on data and feel comfortable working with ERP systems, planning software, and other digital tools.
• You understand the impact of planning choices on both operations and financial results.

An attractive salary between €4,644.55 and €6,945.82, tailored to your experience and expertise.

• 27 vacation days and 13 compensatory ADV‑days per year.
• The option to convert 3, 6, or 9 ADV days into extra salary.
• A varied and responsible position within an internationally operating organization with strong growth ambitions.
• Work‑from‑home arrangement: with a full‑time employment contract (40 hours), you can work from home 2 days a week in consultation.
• Plenty of room for training and personal development.
• A professional and collegial work environment with short lines of communication.
• An informal and pleasant working atmosphere where hard work and fun go hand in hand.
