**Company:** [Destinus](null/companies/sb6acmJt9dX6nsWq4fpoKq.md)
**Location:** Payerne, Switzerland

**Employment type:** Full-time
**Department:** R&D & Engineering

## Description

**About the role**

The Destinus team at Payerne is looking for a hands-on Workshop Coordinator to keep the R&D workshop running smoothly across work preparation, warehouse and logistics, and workshop management. This is a broad operational role that touches everything between an incoming delivery and a finished part leaving the shop, suited to someone who is equally comfortable at a workbench, a stock shelf, or a planning board.

The ideal candidate has a machinist or polymechanic background and has since built solid experience across AVOR, warehousing, and production operations. They are organised, self-sufficient, and not afraid to get their hands dirty when needed.

**What You’ll Do**

-   Manage the workshop stores and warehouse: receive incoming goods, maintain stock levels of materials, consumables, and tooling, and ensure accurate inventory records in the ERP system
-   Handle logistics for the site: coordinate deliveries and shipments, manage supplier and carrier interactions, and ensure timely flow of materials between internal teams and external partners
-   Prepare and plan manufacturing activities (AVOR): review technical drawings, define operation sequences, prepare work instructions, and ensure all materials, tooling, and documentation are in place before production starts
-   Keep the workshop organised and operational: manage tool inventories, coordinate equipment maintenance scheduling, and maintain a clean and efficient production environment
-   Support manufacturing directly when needed, setting up machines, preparing workpieces, or assisting technicians on the floor
-   Assess manufacturability of new parts coming from engineering; flag risks and support the transition of new components into production
-   Maintain accurate production and logistics data in the ERP system; support reporting on stock, lead times, and workshop status
-   Collaborate with engineering, procurement, and production teams to keep information flowing and bottlenecks from forming

## Requirements

**What You’ll Need**

-   Completed vocational training as a Polymechaniker/in, machinist, or equivalent – EFZ or comparable
-   3+ years of broad operational experience spanning at least two of the following: AVOR / work preparation, warehouse and logistics management, workshop or production floor operations
-   Hands-on attitude and willing and able to step in on the floor, not just coordinate from a desk
-   Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, technical drawings, machining methods, and tolerances
-   Experience with ERP systems for inventory, production orders, and logistics; comfortable maintaining accurate records
-   Organised and self-sufficient – able to manage multiple workstreams without close supervision
-   Experience in a high-mix, low-volume or R&D-adjacent manufacturing environment is an advantage
-   Fluent in English (required); French and/or German is a strong advantage
