Drive large‑scale operational excellence across Europe. Lead a high‑impact services organisation supporting cutting‑edge high‑tech clients.

HQ Pack is a rapidly growing, global organisation serving leading high‑tech customers such as ASML, Zeiss and KLA. As the company continues its fast expansion across Europe, it is scaling its services operations to meet exceptionally high standards for quality, safety and reliability. With a dynamic and entrepreneurial culture, HQ Pack empowers its leaders to build future‑proof operations while supporting mission‑critical high‑tech supply chains.

You will oversee multiple operational teams across various sites, including cleanroom operations, repair, maintenance, logistics, service engineering and planning. ASML will be your primary external customer, requiring zero‑error tolerance and strong senior‑level communication.

• Experience in high‑tech, semiconductor or other zero‑tolerance environments (must).
• Background in managing escalations for critical customers (ASML or similar is a plus).
