Overview Always looking for talented people to join great companies - Head of Spain, Italy & Portugal / Recruitment Manager
As part of a strategically significant greenfield initiative, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is being established near Lleida, Spain.

It is an interdisciplinary endeavour with high visibility within the organization and will be executed in close collaboration with departments such as engineering, quality, logistics, IT, and regulatory affairs, amongst others, and external suppliers.
