Bee Your Partner is all about people, technology and innovation. For our eight engineers to truly excel, we need a natural leader. Someone who creates the preconditions, monitors the course and paves the way for technical success.

Are you that process-oriented jack-of-all-trades who combines technical depth with business instinct? Then we would like to build the future with you.


The Mission

As Manager of Engineering, your goal is clear: You ensure a flawless workflow. You eliminate noise, structure processes and monitor progress. In this way, you give our engineers the room to focus fully on what they do best: developing high-quality solutions for our customers.

Your responsibilities

  • Coaching Leadership: You facilitate the team, recognize talent and build a cohesive unit. You motivate in the face of challenges and celebrate successes.
  • Project direction: From quote to final delivery; you keep a tight rein and ensure deadlines and budgets are met.
  • Commercial point of contact: You are the business sparring partner for our clients. You communicate clearly, act fairly and understand the technical context of their issues.
  • Process optimization: With an analytical eye, you identify bottlenecks. You implement improvements that increase efficiency.
  • Innovation & R&D: You will work closely with the R&D department to develop our own product line CARS to an even higher level.

What are you bringing?

You are a “people person” with a business compass. You understand that a team only really performs when the noses are in the same direction and the processes are right.

  • Level: HBO/WO working and thinking level (e.g. Engineering, Technical Business Administration or similar).
  • Experience: You have in-depth knowledge of engineering projects and understand the complexities of the industry.
  • Personality: You are analytically strong and possess a large dose of perseverance. You are a true team builder who acts “hard on the content, but soft on the relationship.”.
  • Vision: You act with business and integrity, always keeping the common result in mind.

What do we offer?

  • Impact: A critical role within an innovative company with a unique proprietary product line (CARS).
  • Freedom: Scope to optimize processes as you see fit.
  • Culture: A down-to-earth, results-oriented work environment with short lines of communication and passionate colleagues.

About Your Partner
