Become a Project Leader and have an influence as we grow

When a plant of our calibre needs maintaining, shutting down or rethinking in the name of the green agenda, we need project leaders that can keep a straight head. If this is the path you wish to take, you will get into contact with colleagues from the entire organisation, plant and administration building– and these are people you want to deal with.

People and skills are equally important here

Regardless of where you work here, you cannot get around cross-functional collaboration. That is why mutual respect is our most valuable resource. As managers, we acknowledge both our colleagues' capabilities and their individuality, providing equal space for both.

It’s the humility toward each other’s skills that helps us find the best solutions. At the same time, the unpretentious tone has spread from production to the offices. And thank goodness for that.

— Niels Bech, Director Strategic Development

The most important thing is your potential – the rest we will figure out along the way

Our business is rather technical. We know that. But it is not always the deep technical knowledge that is the most important. Even though the technical knowledge is more prevalent in some positions than others, we always look at your human qualities first.

You get both the freedom to try out your leadership tools and the support you need. So, if you feel you have some shortcomings, they’ll be addressed too.
