Additional Information

Do you know how to keep a cool head in the heat of the moment? Then this vacancy is definitely worth considering. At ROCKWOOL, we are looking for process operators who want to take control of the entire melting process at our furnace (melting temperature 1500 degrees Celsius). You will be responsible for managing all the necessary raw materials required to achieve the correct composition of the final stone wool product. This enables your Line Operator colleagues to produce a high-quality semi-finished or end product. There is a lot involved in becoming a fully qualified process operator, or furnace operator. But don't worry, you won't be thrown in at the deep end. Instead, you'll receive a good mix of guidance, knowledge transfer, and learning on the job! Are you eager to start as a furnace operator? Then this is a great opportunity for you! Your main responsibilities include: Starting up the furnace; Intervening in case of (imminent/acute) deviations, adjusting the process and taking action independently, within established procedures and regulations; Performing quality checks on the furnaces and the process and identifying any deviations; Making improvement proposals to optimize the process; Actively participating in improvement groups and operator meetings; Performing simple maintenance tasks independently. About Rockwool You will work on the furnace platform of one of our production lines, where you will carry significant responsibility for the melting process from raw material to stone wool. You will operate one of our melting furnaces and maintain control and oversight of the process. Here, you melt basalt at a temperature of over 1,500 degrees Celsius. From the "lava" flow, stone wool fibers are drawn-similar to cotton candy-and then cooled. You then build the stone wool package to the correct thickness using a "pendulum" system, after which it is transported via conveyor belt for your Line Operator colleagues to process into a high-quality product (either semi-finished or final product). For more than 80 years, we have been the global market leader in producing and selling stone wool solutions. Of course, we don't do this alone! We do it together with more than 12,000 Rockwool colleagues worldwide, including 1,200 at our site in Roermond. Working at Rockwool means working with security.
