REGIONAL PLANNING AND LOGISTICS MANAGER NORTH AMERICA – ROCK TOOLS GLOBAL OPERATIONS

Mississauga

Within Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology and division Rock Tools, we’ve recently formed a new and autonomous Global Operations organization, and we’re now on an exciting transformation journey. Our goal is clear – we’re aiming to holistically optimize our entire global value chain and create an effective, modern structure by using digitalization as a tool for success.

For this new organization, we’re looking for an open-minded and enthusiastic Planning and Logistics Manager for North America (Canada, US, Mexico & Caribbean). Joining us, you’ll really feel the pulse of a global industrial frontrunner and you get to connect with brilliant minds spread across all corners of the world. An exciting position and a great chance to make a positive impact on our distribution flows – in a region where you are next door to many of our highly automated mines.

About the job

In this position, you’re responsible for our regional customer demand forecasting process and logistics network for North America. You lead a team of ambitious and driven planners and logistics professionals, and you proactively develop our operations from both a strategic and operational point of view. Together with your team, you make sure that we have a strong understanding and relevant information of our customers’ requirements – what they need in terms of products and services and how we can optimize production, warehousing and distribution. You also collaborate along all parts of our Sales and Operational Planning value chain to increase capital efficiency and bring us one step closer to world-class operations!

By digging deep into our processes, driving analytics and looking at the benefits of digitalization, you holistically identify standardized, simplified and improved ways of working and seamless data flows. Another important part of your job is to share best practices and valuable insights between our regions, and you work close to our sales managers and the management team for Global Operations.

This position is located in Mississauga, Ontario and some international travel is included in the job.
