Recruitment of Operations and Development Manager for Tielman Sweden AB
When structure, technology and leadership needed to meet
Tielman Group is a global manufacturer of paper-based baking tins and packaging solutions for the food industry, with headquarters and production in Linköping. The business is characterized by quality, sustainability and a strong family culture – but was facing an important development step.
The machinery needed to be strengthened through more systematic preventive maintenance, clearer standardized working methods and better monitoring of machine performance. At the same time, leadership with both technical weight and the ability to create structure and commitment in everyday life was required. The role of Operations and Development Manager was therefore a strategically important recruitment.
The role involves overall responsibility for the engineering department and machine performance. It involves ensuring the right speeds and quality in production, driving investments and improvement projects, and developing long-term and proactive maintenance work. Equally important is to create clarity – in working methods, documentation and expectations.
The skills required are unusual in the region, which made the assignment particularly challenging.
Cooperation – a clear and accurate process
With a thorough requirements profile, close dialog and a combination of advertising and active search, we were able to identify candidates with the right technical height and leadership skills.
Cassandra Carlsson, HR Manager at Tielman Sweden AB, describes the experience:
“With our hearts in our mouths and knowing that this particular expertise is something of a rarity here on the East Göta plain, our expectations were cautious to say the least. But as usual, we were impressed by the cooperation. They understood what we needed, both in terms of skills and personal qualities. The whole process was clear and structured from start to finish and the candidates were of a consistently high standard.”
“Many thanks to Daniel Edqvist and Karolin Loström for a very professional and dedicated work!”
The result – when everything clicks
The managerial recruitment resulted in a long-term match where both skills and culture interacted. A leader who can develop both people and machines – and who gives Tielman the right conditions to continue to grow with quality, structure and sustainability in focus.
