Welcome to Palmela's vibrant automotive sector, where SMP and MSAS stand out as industry leaders, each offering distinctive opportunities at the heart of Portugal's automotive supply hub.
SMP's renowned, highly automated painting facility is a cornerstone of the industry. From here, with approximately 210 employees, we supply several regional car makers with large exterior modules, including bumpers with high-quality paint finishes, and a range of integrated electric and decorative components.
At MSAS, our focus is on assembling cockpit components, making our facility a crucial link in the automotive supply chain. With a team of approximately 190 professionals, our plant is a collaborative centre dedicated to operational accuracy and effectiveness.
Join our team and help shape world-class vehicles with our products.
Teams building the future
Our engineers work directly with our customers throughout the entire process right from the drawing board to production. A strong technical background, particularly in the automotive industry, electronics, electro-mechanics, power distribution, and/or wire harness assembly, is advantageous. We value creativity and an inventive approach as it allows our engineers to envision new and better solutions that will help both Motherson and our customers meet future challenges. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are also essential.
General administration tasks vary depending on location and can include document management, travel arrangements, office management, and senior-level executive assistance. This position necessitates strong interpersonal skills as well as the ability to communicate effectively and efficiently. Our administrators are committed to completing tasks on time and in accordance with Group standards. Candidates with qualities such as dependability, a strong work ethic, accuracy, and attention to detail are ideal.
The HR community promotes the group values and fosters a healthy work environment. The profile includes performance management, employee training and development, facilitating internal communication, and talent acquisition and retention. The HR team is also responsible for the health, safety and well-being of employees.
The Logistics/Shipping/Scheduling Department ensures both timely dispatch and delivery to customers. Team members are responsible for maintaining inventory levels, optimising lot sizes and freight costs, and scheduling deliveries to meet the needs of our customers.
Knowledge of ERP/MRP and EDI as well as familiarity with the industrial environment are advantageous.
Candidates should be good at communication, organisation and planning. The ability to work under pressure is advantageous as the Logistics Department is frequently required to find quick solutions to problems that arise in the global supply chain.
Working on the shop floor requires dexterity, physical fitness, and a knack for working with machinery. We are looking for people to work on the preparation and assembly of wire harnesses and cables, as well as related electrical and mechanical parts. We also have openings for various support positions, such as tooling and equipment maintenance and production team leaders.
The Purchasing Department's responsibilities include coordinating the flow of orders to ensure on-time deliveries, vendor management, and contract negotiations in direct and indirect sourcing. Members of the Purchasing Department maintain operational relationships with suppliers and optimise purchases and contracts which requires cooperation and coordination across various divisions of the group.
Attributes that are needed are a positive attitude, excellent communication skills, and the ability to positively influence others.
The Quality Department supports the implementation and continuous improvement of quality management systems, conducts process and product audits. Team members respond to supplier and customer concerns while actively monitoring work on the shop floor to identify potential and actual quality issues. Candidates should have knowledge of quality-assessment tools and have a systematic and analytical approach to problem-solving. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are also required.

About Palmela
An ideal place to live, located in the heart of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Palmela is the largest municipality on the peninsula of Setúbal with round about 50,000 inhabitants.
The town of Palmela, located in the foothills of the Arrábida mountain range, has attracted the people who have passed through the Iberian Peninsula over the centuries. The Region of Palmela is part of the tourism region of Costa Azul. It is believed to have been given its name by the Romans, specifically a praetor called Palma, whereas the Arabs were responsible for building the castle at its highest point, from where it dominates the whole of the area between the Sado and Tagus rivers. Setúbal Bay is regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Palmela is an ideal place for living and also one of the best wine regions in Portugal.

Say somthing nice about your sights
In geography, location or place are used to denote a region (point, line, or area) on Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, the latter often indicating an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.
