Introduction

Are you an experienced professional who likes to take responsibility and make an impact on people and results? Then this is a unique opportunity to help guide the further growth and professionalization of Tomeco. We are a close-knit collaboration of six Flemish greenhouse horticultural companies, supplemented by a central sorting and packaging center. Together, we grow sustainable, top-quality tomatoes with passion, craftsmanship, and respect for people and the environment. Spread over almost 80 hectares of modern greenhouses, we are building a future-oriented story every day, with a strong focus on innovation, efficiency, and a people-oriented work organization. With more than 800 seasonal workers per year and an organization in full growth, Tomeco stands for entrepreneurship, cooperation, and continuous improvement. To further professionalize our work organization, we are looking for an Overarching Work Coordinator who will help guide people, processes, and performance.

What we expect from you ?

We are looking for an overarching work coordinator for five modern greenhouse horticulture companies in the north of the province of Antwerp, who combines strategic insight with a strong presence on the work floor.

In this key role, you will be responsible for streamlining, analyzing, and optimizing the work organization across multiple sites. You will switch easily between figures and people, between long-term planning and daily operational reality. Experience in greenhouse horticulture is a clear added value, but not an absolute requirement for candidates with a strong affinity for production environments and work organization.

Your responsibilities

  • Overall coordination and optimization of labor within five greenhouse horticulture companies
  • Managing, coaching, and developing managers
  • Analyzing labor data (planning, productivity, quality, and costs) and translating it into concrete improvement actions
  • Bringing structure and uniformity to work processes and planning methodologies
  • Promoting cooperation and knowledge sharing between different companies
  • Acting as a strategic sparring partner for owners and management
  • Initiating and supervising improvement and change processes
  • Monitoring employee performance, engagement, and motivation

What your profile is ?

  • Experience with work organization, production planning, or operational management
  • Experience in greenhouse horticulture, cultivation, or production environments is a definite plus but not a requirement.
  • Demonstrable experience in managing and coaching executives
  • Strong analytical insight and adeptness with figures and schedules
  • Decisive, resolute, and results-oriented
  • Strong communication skills at both the workplace and management level
  • Hands-on approach, with a strategic and helicopter view
  • Good knowledge of Dutch and English
  • Experience with international and/or seasonal work is a significant asset.
  • What is offered to you ?

  • An influential key role with a direct impact on productivity, quality, cost control, and job satisfaction
  • Autonomy and scope to help shape the role in terms of content and structure
  • A professional, no-nonsense working environment with short decision-making lines
  • Close cooperation with owners and management
  • A competitive salary in line with experience and responsibilities
  • What are you waiting for?
