As a Consultant in Digital Transformation, you will:
Collaborate with manufacturing clients to understand their current operations, workflows and challenges.
Map out existing production processes and information flow (from MES, automation systems, manual operations, etc.).
Identify opportunities for improvement — whether via digital tools, automation, process re-design, or better data flows.
Propose pragmatic, adapted transformation roadmaps: combining MES/automation improvements, process updates, and change management (people & process) — not just technical features.
Work with cross-functional teams (operations, production, management, IT) to design feasible, scalable transformation plans.
Support the implementation and rollout: facilitate workshops, coordinate with stakeholders, help staff adopt new tools and ways of working, and monitor effectiveness.
Track and measure key performance indicators (KPIs) to show impact (e.g. efficiency gains, production quality, downtime reduction, traceability improvements, etc.).
Act as a trusted advisor: communicate clearly, translate technical or process concepts into business value, and help steer change.
What we’re looking for
Essential skills & experience:
Experience working in a manufacturing or industrial environment — ideally familiar with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), automation, or production processes.
Strong understanding of business processes, operations, and manufacturing workflows (even if not deeply technical).
Good analytical skills: able to look at processes, data flows, and operations with a critical eye to identify inefficiencies and opportunities.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills: able to work with diverse stakeholders (management, operators, IT, production teams), listen, explain, and build consensus.
Comfortable coordinating between technical teams and business/operations teams, bridging the language gap.
Project- or change-management mindset: able to help implement change responsibly, support adoption, and guide transformation beyond just technology.
Adaptability and a continuous-learning attitude: manufacturing + automation + digital evolves — you stay curious, open, and proactive about learning new tools/approaches.
Nice‑to‑have / preferred (but not mandatory):
Previous consulting experience (internal or external), especially in transformation, process optimisation, or change management.
Familiarity with MES platforms, industrial automation standards or basic industrial IT / OT concepts.
Experience leading or supporting cross‑departmental projects or operational change.
Basic understanding of data flows, and willingness to engage with digital/IT stakeholders to design appropriate solutions.
Fluency in English and/or French and/or Dutch (depending on client needs), plus ability to present clearly to different audiences.
