Procesoperator B (5-Shifts) (EN), Roermond

Do you know how to keep a cool head in the heat of the moment? Then this vacancy is definitely worth considering. At ROCKWOOL, we are looking for process operators who want to take control of the entire melting process at our furnace (melting temperature 1500 degrees Celsius). You will be responsible for managing all the necessary raw materials required to achieve the correct composition of the final stone-wool product, enabling your line-operator colleagues to produce a high-quality semi-finished or end product.

There is a lot involved in becoming a fully qualified process operator, or furnace operator. But don’t worry, you won’t be thrown in at the deep end. Instead, you’ll receive a good mix of guidance, knowledge transfer, and learning on the job!

Your main responsibilities include:

Starting up the furnace

Intervening in case of (imminent/acute) deviations, adjusting the process and taking action independently, within established procedures and regulations

Performing quality checks on the furnaces and the process and identifying any deviations

Making improvement proposals to optimise the process

Actively participating in improvement groups and operator meetings

Performing simple maintenance tasks independently

You will work on the furnace platform of one of our production lines, where you will carry significant responsibility for the melting process from raw material to stone-wool. You will operate one of our melting furnaces and maintain control and oversight of the process. Here, you melt basalt at a temperature of over 1,500 degrees Celsius. From the "lava" flow, stone-wool fibres are drawn - similar to cotton candy - and then cooled. You then build the stone-wool package to the correct thickness using a "pendulum" system, after which it is transported via conveyor belt for your line-operator colleagues to process into a high-quality product (either semi-finished or final).

What do we expect from you?

Completed education at least at MBO level 3 in a (process) technical field or an Operator B diploma (e.g., Vapro)

Technically skilled with relevant work experience, proactive, quality- and safety-conscious, and a team player

Good health and physical condition (compressed air training)

Good communication skills and strong command of the English language, both written and spoken

Willingness to work in a 3-, 4-, or 5-shift schedule

What do we offer?

A starting salary of€3,178 gross per month, with the possibility to grow to €3,839 gross per month. In addition, you receive a shift allowance of 21.5% to 28.5%, making your total income even more attractive

Various growth and training opportunities, including our internal company school and external courses

A direct ROCKWOOL contract, with both a one-year contract and a permanent contract as possibilities

Plenty of free time: at least 25 regular vacation days, plus up to 26 additional ATV days depending on your shift schedule

A solid pension scheme, a 13th month bonus, holiday allowance, travel allowance, a social fund, and discounts on your gym membership
