If you are an innovator, someone who dares to look ahead and is inspired by pioneering technology, then this position within the HKS Group is the challenge for you!

The recycling industry is at the beginning of a huge development. As a supplier of secondary raw materials, the HKS Group plays a key role in this. To remain a market leader, we do not want to follow but to lead the way.

That’s why we’re not looking for a Project Manager who just checks off a few boxes. We’re looking for a technical pioneer who sees opportunities, explores new technologies, and works with colleagues, suppliers, and specialists to develop solutions that will permanently change our production.

You are part of a team of seven project managers and work closely with the branch managers and technical and operational colleagues of HKS and Mirec. You have the freedom to explore, test and scale new ideas. Think of robotization that makes work safer and smarter, AI solutions that recognize and sort material flows, detection technology that recovers valuable metals and data applications that make processes more predictable and efficient. Sometimes there is already a clear question, sometimes it starts with your curiosity: what could be done better here and what technology can make the difference?

The projects take place at various locations of HKS Scrap Metals and Mirec in the Netherlands and Belgium. Your field of work is the entire HKS Group.

As an Account Manager, you will maintain strong customer relationships with integrity, ensuring that the relationship between customer and yard is always maintained. It is of great importance that you are able to take initiative and show leadership in your actions, not only seeing the big picture, but also not losing sight of the details. You operate effortlessly at different levels of communication, allowing you to switch effectively between strategic decision-making and operational execution.

In this dynamic role, you will be responsible for planning and coordinating transport orders for various metals, both nationally and internationally. This may involve transport by truck, ship, or sea container. You will liaise daily with customers, fellow planners, hauliers, forwarders, sales, branches, and other internal and external stakeholders.

Your aim? To ensure everything runs as efficiently, accurately, and safely as possible. In addition, you are responsible for the correct administrative processing and reporting of the work carried out.

As a Weegbrug Administrative Assistant, you are responsible for weighing incoming and outgoing freight traffic and the correct processing of the associated transport documents. You have regular contact with drivers, customers, and colleagues in this role.

In addition, you support the back office with various administrative tasks. You process invoices in Recy and Docubizz, perform reception duties, assist with freight planning, and arrange the shipment of test shipments and packages. With your accurate and customer-oriented approach, you are a key asset of the company.

Together with your colleagues, you ensure the operation of the weighing bridge between 07:00 and 16:30. You work alternately from 07:00 to 15:30 or from 08:00 to 16:30. This way, you ensure good handover and an efficient workflow throughout the day.
