Project Specialist Mineral Sand
Application Deadline: 15 August 2026
Department: Operations & Transport
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: Birkerød
Reporting To: Henrik Mørch
Great projects don't happen by accident.
Good thing neither do you!
Mineral sand travels many kilometres before reaching its destination. Behind every successful delivery is someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, solving problems before they arise and making sure every detail falls into place.
Suppliers. Shipping lines. Customers. Finance. Sales. Logistics. They may all have different priorities, but they have one thing in common, and you'll help bring them together.
Join Combineering and become part of a growing international Greentech company with around 55 employees across Europe, helping industries transform waste into valuable resources through recycling and the circular economy. Here you'll enjoy independent responsibility, genuine opportunities to grow and colleagues who are always ready to support one another.
The details matter...
For the planet too 💚
Our vision is a waste-free world that we can pass on to future generations. Every project we deliver helps valuable resources find a new purpose and supports industries in becoming more sustainable.
For more than 40 years, we've connected industries, technologies and people to create smarter resource solutions across Europe. Behind every successful project is someone who enjoys solving complex operational challenges and this is where you come in...
As part of Reconomy, with more than 4,000 employees serving customers in over 150 countries, Combineering combines international reach with a close-knit culture. Headquartered in Birkerød with colleagues across Europe, we continue to grow while maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit, flexibility and trust that have always defined us.
..in a supportive job environment
You'll have significant responsibility and freedom in your role, but you'll never work alone.
As Project Specialist – Mineral Sand, you'll work closely with Project Managers, Sales, Finance, suppliers, transport providers and customers to ensure projects are executed safely, efficiently and profitably. You'll also supervise our Supply Chain Coordinator in Germany, helping to align planning and operational execution across borders.
Our colleagues bring expertise from many different disciplines, creating an environment where ideas are shared openly, challenges are solved together and everyone contributes to finding the best solution.
Though we've been around for more than four decades, you'll still experience that 'start-up' feel, short lines of communication, quick decision making and plenty of opportunity to influence how we work.
Every successful delivery is the result of hundreds of small decisions. Together, we make sure they all lead in the right direction.
Planning, coordinating and making it happen...
Your role sits at the centre of our Mineral Sand operations.
From coordinating logistics activities and monitoring operational performance to supporting financial follow up and continuous improvements, you'll ensure projects move smoothly from initial planning through to final invoicing and settlement.
Working across multiple functions, you'll balance customer expectations, commercial objectives and operational excellence while helping keep sustainable resource flows moving throughout Europe.
Here's where you'll make the impact...
Keeping everything on track..., e.g:
- Planning, booking, and coordinating logistics activities with suppliers, customers, transport providers, and other stakeholders.
- Ensuring compliance with company policies, ISO procedures, contractual requirements, and applicable regulations.
- Creating, updating, and monitoring loads in relevant systems.
- Supporting TFS application processes and identify unused TFS opportunities.
- Reporting claims, incidents, and non-conformities to the appropriate departments.
Planning ahead...e.g.
- Preparing and support the S&OP process, including meeting preparation, minutes, and action follow-up.
- Maintaining short- and long-term volume forecasts and loading plans.
- Maintaining and update CM1 calculations and operational performance reporting.
- Managing operational disruptions and escalate risks when required.
- Balancing operational decisions between profitability goals and long-term customer relationships.
Keeping an eye on the numbers...e.g.
- Obtaining and negotiate logistics rates within delegated authority.
- Maintaining approved pricing information in relevant systems.
- Support monthly financial closing activities with Finance.
- Monitoring project costs, margins, and financial performance.
- Reviewing customer payment status and credit limits.
Building strong partnerships...
- Delivering a high level of customer service and maintain strong stakeholder relationships.
- Acting as the primary operational contact for assigned projects.
- Initiating and support continuous improvement activities together with Project Managers, Sales, Finance, and Operations.
Success looks like...
- Maintaining accurate operational planning, forecasts, and CM1 reporting.
- Ensuring successful execution of planned loads and deliveries.
- Ensuring accurate supplier cost control and customer invoicing.
- Supporting accurate financial reporting and month-end closing.
- Maintaining complete and compliant shipment documentation.
- Delivering a high level of customer satisfaction.
- Maintaining high data quality across all systems.
- Ensuring effective execution and documentation of S&OP activities.
We imagine that you...
- are fluent German and English, both written and spoken.
- have strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- have a good understanding of supply chain and logistics operations.
- have strong commercial awareness and data-driven decision-making skills.
- have excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
- have strong reporting, planning, and organisational capabilities.
- have the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across functions.
Bringing it all together...
To keep projects moving...
We imagine you're someone who enjoys creating structure where others see complexity. You like taking ownership, building relationships and finding practical solutions that keep operations running smoothly.
Whether you're coordinating suppliers, analysing performance or solving unexpected challenges, you'll be trusted to make decisions, supported by colleagues who are always ready to share their expertise.
In return...
We offer far more than an operational role.
You'll become part of an international company where sustainability isn't simply a strategy and it's the reason we exist. You'll enjoy meaningful work, wonderful colleagues, an attractive salary and benefits package, and plenty of opportunities to grow both professionally and personally.
Most importantly, you'll help shape projects that support a more circular economy while working in an organisation that values trust, collaboration and new ideas.
