Your challenges
Joining the Material & Product Technology team in Østbirk, you will be responsible for paving the way for new technical solutions that can feed into end products. This gives you a chance to focus on a range of different material technologies. Project management is front and centre in your job, and you will run several projects at a time which focus on developing both existing and new products.
 
At the beginning, you will have one specialist in each project and be responsible for small scale projects and a project team of participants from various parts of the Technology and Product Development department.

With your energy and drive, you are ready to take the lead and show the way towards project completion - and you know that the foundation of successful teamwork is based on collaboration and knowledge sharing.
