DNK-Randers, Danish Crown Vej
Technical IT Project Manager - Production IT & MES
Do you want to lead the technical delivery of the next generation of our business-critical MES platform? Are you motivated by driving projects where IT, production, architecture, and development meet – directly on the factory floor? Then you might be our next Technical IT Project Manager for the Production Domain.
At Danish Crown, we are launching an ambitious multi-year MES program in which new solutions will be developed, tested, and rolled out across our factories in Denmark and Germany in an agile context. You will play a central role in the program, which is executed through a hybrid combination of Agile and Waterfall approaches – while also taking responsibility for selected projects within our broader shop floor IT landscape.
The Role
You will hold a key position in planning, managing, and ensuring the technical execution of projects within the domain, in close collaboration with developers, architects, consultants, the business, and external partners. You will connect the technical deliveries from ideas and design to testing, implementation, and stable operations.
As Technical IT Project Manager, your work spans both strategic and hands-on tasks: you must be able to make decisions, create structure, ensure progress in an agile setup, and understand the technical details that make a MES project succeed on a busy factory floor.

Just like the crops in the fields continuously change, Danish Crown tirelessly refine and improve how we work, from farm to fork, to ensure good, safe food for people around the world to enjoy. Our history goes back to 1887 and the Danish cooperative movement, and responsibility towards society, our employees and our owners, the farmers, is quite simply in our genes.
As a global leader in meat production, we have big obligations; not just to deliver, but to explore new opportunities. We still have a long way to go and face many challenges. But we remain committed to improving how food is produced - with respect for animals, people and the environment. In this quest, we are prepared to challenge ourselves, the industry and the market.
This journey is not ours alone, but we promise to be the leaders of change.
You will become a part of a strong culture with roots in the Danish co-operative movement, and at all levels of the organization, you will be met by an informal and direct tone.
