Head of Commercial-Technical Training & Key User Digitalization/AI

Shape the future of Villeroy & Boch: At the Torgau site, we combine state-of-the-art manufacturing methods with over 275 years of craftsmanship and innovation history. To make our plant future-proof and technologically leading, we are looking for a committed personality at a strategic key position: You are responsible not only for the excellent qualification of our junior and skilled workers, but also drive the implementation of modern digital and AI technologies in our production across sites.

• Manage training: You control the commercial-technical training at the site (industrial mechanics, mechatronics, electronics, industrial ceramics) in accordance with the BBiG and are the fixed contact person for trainees, vocational schools, and the IHK.
• Further develop employees: You plan and accompany training directly at the workplace (training on the job) so that our teams keep pace with new technical requirements.
• Onboard lateral entrants: You create practice-oriented onboarding plans to integrate new colleagues without prior knowledge quickly and safely into our production.
• Advance digitalization in the plant: You test and support new digital tools and AI applications in production (e.g., in maintenance or process data acquisition) and show teams how to use them in daily work.
• Projects & networking: You regularly exchange ideas with other sites and bring practical ideas to Torgau.
• Practice & safety: You ensure clean compliance with safety regulations (PPE) and ensure that work instructions remain understandable and up-to-date.

• Solid foundation: Completed technical training (e.g., industrial mechanics, mechatronics, electronics) with further education to become a master craftsman, technician, or a corresponding practice-oriented degree.
• Trainer qualification: AdA certificate (AEVO) mandatory, as well as enjoyment in passing on knowledge.
• Professional experience: Practical experience in an industrial or manufacturing company, ideally already in supervising trainees or onboarding employees.
• Technology & IT interest: You have no fear of digital tools, tablets on machines, or new software solutions and can explain them understandably.
• Work style: You like to get stuck in, are reliable, can deal well with people, and find pragmatic solutions to problems in daily operations even when issues arise.
• Languages: Proficient German; basic English for exchange in project groups is helpful.
