The LEGO Group is experiencing increasing market demand, creating a need to significantly expand production capacity. In this role, you'll help ensure our factories can support changing technologies sustainably while strengthening the way we plan and execute new factory projects. You'll play a key part in creating a fully aligned and optimised design basis for future factory expansions.

• Own and develop the architectural building programme for each new project.
• Help standardize the way LEGO® facilities are designed and built.
  

If you've worked in industrial architecture where production, logistics, utilities and buildings must come together, you'll feel at home here. What matters most is your ability to turn complex requirements into practical architectural solutions that balance aesthetics and constructability. 

Life on the team

The NextGen Factory team is newly established as part of Global Workplace Projects. Our aim is to develop the factories of the future and take ownership of how our buildings and facilities come together in a thoughtful and structured way. That means considering the full picture, from the needs of our people and the flow through our facilities to production equipment, utilities and the buildings themselves. You'll be part of an international, multidisciplinary environment working across several functional areas.

You'll work closely with colleagues and partners from different parts of the world, communicating clearly, bringing a positive approach to challenges and helping us create well-aligned solutions together. 

What success looks like

You'll play a key role in creating an aligned design basis for future factory expansions. Success means bringing architecture, manufacturing, logistics flows, utility and people requirements together while developing consistent ways of building LEGO facilities. Ultimately, you'll help ensure our future factories can evolve with new technologies and changing market needs.
