In addition, would you like to be part of a company that leads the market in sustainable indoor living? Then this position might be the next step in your career.

Your challenges
You will participate in optimisation projects related to existing fittings for VELUX roof windows. Through the projects you will work closely with other development teams and production sites in the VELUX Group and you will get a unique opportunity to follow the optimisations from early idea to production.

Your primary tasks will be to:

Construct fittings solutions in SolidWorks
Run cost projects according to our stage gate process including preparation of business case with cost and timing and preparation of presentations and presentation of progress for management
Participate in idea generation sessions and cost out activities through value engineering

As you will be part of a global organisation you can expect to travel approx. 45 days per year primarily to other locations in Denmark. Therefore, it is important that you enjoy travelling and that you have the opportunity to be flexible.

You will be joining a strong team of engineers and constructors focusing on quality and cost optimisations of existing VELUX products. Our team is based in Denmark in Hørsholm and Østbirk close to Horsens, by E45 motorway. You can have your primary base at one of these locations.

Your qualifications
We expect that you are a mechanical engineer or that you have a similar relevant technical education preferably with a couple of years of experience with product development and construction. It is important that you have flair for technique and that you thrive on working with development and construction of metal and plastic fittings and components.

Feeling at home in a project oriented development organisation, your strong point is your great interest in identifying new mechanical solutions that create business value. You drive innovation and it is natural for you to seek new ways. You are a creative ‘out of the box’ thinker with a good eye for details, observing deadlines always with a focus on how to create value for the business through quality, agreements and deadlines.

As a person, you are a team player with a constructive mind-set motivated by finding the best solutions in close collaboration with production and technology development. People often describe you as result oriented with a natural interest for ensuring progress. In addition, you have an open and forthcoming manner and you collaborate easily with people around you at all levels.

Proficiency in 3D CAD and Microsoft Office is necessary as well as fluency in English both verbally and in writing.

Your opportunities
You will join our product development team and through participation in many challenging and different tasks you will have an opportunity to influence your own job. In addition to operating at a highly professional level, our team is characterised by an informal tone and a healthy sense of humour with respect for each other both as team players and as individuals.

We work as one team to reach our ambitious results. The international setting is in our DNA, we believe in empowering people, and we support this through sharing knowledge, delegating responsibility and continuous employee development.

We are a strong value based company where commitment, thoroughness and mutual respect are among the core values and teamwork and professionalism is essential to the way we work.
