Job description

Do you have knowledge and (at least some) experience of launching new products? Does transforming a prototype into a production model excite you? Are you a natural networker who would enjoy building a network of appropriate suppliers? If so, you won't want to miss this opportunity to join the In Ovo team as Supply Chain Engineer .

About our company
Since we started out in 2011, we have been developing an automated process to determine the sex of a chick while still inside the egg. We aim to prevent the hatching and then culling of billions of male chicks worldwide just because they do not lay eggs. In 2020, we installed the first version of our Ella machine in a hatchery. Since then, we have developed the technology further, and a new, improved Ella began operating in 2022.

We can proudly report that during the last few months alone, we have prevented hundred of thousands day-old male chicks from being killed. Our mission is to end the culling of male chicks completely.

Ella is only the initial step on our journey, our first pioneering innovation. We are determined to develop our business further and create many more innovative ideas. When it comes to animal welfare and climate change, all sorts of challenges exist and cry out for imaginative ideas and unconventional solutions. These are precisely the challenges that drive us forward.

At In Ovo, we combine analytical insight with a no-nonsense approach. We don't get caught up in endless discussions. And we don't stare at the screen for hours on end. We look at the hatcheries from the inside. Because our solutions have to work for them if what we do is to succeed.

Your role

As a Supply Chain Engineer , you play a crucial role in our growth by expanding our machine fleet internationally. You maintain direct communication with our suppliers and are involved in setting up and managing the procurement process and machine inventory system. Establishing an inventory system and the associated reporting will ensure that In Ovo can produce seamlessly at the right place and time. In this context, you are the driving force behind our operations.

You collaborate closely with engineers who optimize our machines. You identify and communicate critical matters to expedite machine production smoothly. You have the ability to communicate clearly across various projects involving multiple colleagues and stakeholders. You also maintain close connections with different gender determination locations to prevent production disruptions. As a Supply Chain Engineer, you are the missing link between R&D and Operations. Your organizational skills directly impact the quality of gender determination and the speed at which we can deliver machines, all while ensuring the proper inventory levels of consumables and spare parts.

• Structured and flexible
• A communicative go-getter
• Someone with an affinity for a fast-growing high-tech environment, animal welfare, and technology
• Accurate and disciplined in following schedules and procedures
• Driven to elevate logistics within In Ovo and oneself to a higher level

In addition, you preferably have knowledge of and experience in:

• Holding a completed and relevant HBO (Bachelor's) degree and at least 3 years of proven work experience in supply chain
• Organizational and negotiation skill
  
• Establishing logistical processes
• Fluency in Dutch and English
• Experience with MS Office

What we can offer?
Working as a Supply Chain Engineer at In Ovo means contributing to a fast-growing, ambitious organisation. You will deal with interesting and sometimes complex projects, issues and brainteasers. In Ovo is a company large enough for you to work on a wide range of topics but small enough to stamp your mark and make a difference. Our culture is informal and the lines of communication short.

We also offer the following:

• A scale-up environment where you will have unique opportunities to have a global impact on animal welfare.
• The innovative nature of In Ovo, where you constantly seek new opportunities and ways to grow with a high level of personal responsibility.
• A salary ranging from €4,000 to €5,500, depending on your work experience.
• An annual personal development budget of €1,500.
• 25 vacation days per year (and the option to buy more), a pension plan, and a work-from-home allowance.

Interested but still in doubt?

Unfortunately, it's a fact that people tend to hesitate to respond to a job vacancy if they don't meet all the requirements. This seems to happen more often with women and minorities. We invite you to apply, even if you have doubts! Let's talk about your qualities and how we can offer you a suitable role within our organization.
