JChicken fillet pieces, chicken burgers and oven dishes. At our Retail department in Zeewolde, we process and pack fresh chicken products. We deliver these products to well-known supermarkets and meal delivery companies. We have 13 different production lines. You work with 4 to 8 colleagues on your line. You help each other and there is a good atmosphere. You keep an overview and are the first person your colleagues go to with questions. At Storteboom, we call this job Line Coordinator. 

At the start of your shift, you check the planning. What will you make today? Are the right people and materials there? Is the machine set up correctly? After that, you make sure everything keeps running well. 

You:

• Divide the work and help your colleagues get started;
• check quality, hygiene and safety;
• set up and change machines;
• solve small machine problems yourself when possible;
• keep an eye on the planning and production;
• help new colleagues learn the job. 

Things do not always go as planned. When that happens, you stay calm and positive. You look for a solution and keep your team motivated.

And yes, working with fresh chicken means working in a cold environment. The temperature is between 2 and 4°C. Good, warm work clothes help. You work different shifts: one week from about 06:15 to 14:30 and the next week from 14:30 to 00:00. You can also work on Saturdays. Sometimes you need to work a little longer to finish the production for that day. We work with fresh chicken, so it is important to finish the planned production.

A lot of responsibility and many chances to grow. For example, you can learn to work on different production lines or take the next step to Assistant Team Leader or Team Leader. You work 5 days a week in different shifts, including Saturday (evening).

You also get:

• A salary according to our collective labour agreement, starting from €2,444.16 gross per 4 weeks. This is €16.08 per hour;
• gross ADV compensation: extra pay for reduced working hours;
• your salary 13 times a year; • attractive extra pay on top of your salary: 30% extra for hours after 21:00, 15% to 50% extra on Saturdays and 25% or 50% extra for overtime;
• 8% holiday pay;
• 218 hours of paid holiday per year based on a 38-hour working week. This is more than 28 days;
• a pension plan;
• travel allowance and free parking;
• access to the Storteboom Academy and opportunities to learn and grow;
• free fresh soup and fruit, and low-cost lunch in our company restaurant;
• suitable work clothes and work shoes.

A diploma is not everything. For us, it is more important that you take responsibility, keep an overview and work well with people. When it is busy or something goes wrong, you stay calm. 

What we ask:

• You speak basic English. Dutch is a plus;
• you work carefully and think quality is important;
• you can talk to colleagues about their work and motivate them;
• you like working with colleagues from different countries;
• you have your own transport to get to Zeewolde.
