Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water, and shipping.

Along the way, you’ll maintain our Cleaning & Mixing portfolio with special focus on Mixing, coordinate and support design and changes, while also aiding in supply and purchasing activities. You will be a crucial resource for your colleagues, sharing knowledge and fostering mutual growth.

Essentially, you’ll develop new products that are not only superior quality but are industry leading. We’ve developed a long-standing reputation for doing exactly that and we have even bigger ambitions. In doing so, we’re open, direct, and honest. We value good communications and strong collaboration.

Your main responsibilities:

  • Development of hygienic products, new ideas and concepts related to technology, including new designs, features, and materials developments and services from initial concept to launch, aligning with customer needs and market demands.
  • Product care and maintenance of our existing product portfolio by facilitating design changes and providing support to supply and purchasing activities.
  • Collaborate closely with various stakeholders, including Product Management and Supply Chain, to ensure the successful execution of projects and alignment with organizational goals.

The position will be based in Kolding, Denmark. We anticipate approximately 5 - 15 days of travel activity per year, primarily within Denmark.

What you know

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience with mechanical design and product development in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
  • Knowledge of NX CAD and Teamcenter is considered an advantage.
  • Understanding materials, manufacturing methods, and mechanical calculations.

  • Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, production, sourcing, and quality teams.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

Who You Are

You are analytical, focused, and easy to work with, with a calm and grounded approach. Naturally curious, you enjoy learning, exploring new ideas, and developing your skills within engineering and innovation. You combine a strong technical understanding with a collaborative mindset. You work well in teams, take ownership, and are not afraid to challenge existing ways of working when better solutions are possible. You communicate clearly and effectively, making complex technical information easy to understand for both colleagues and customers. Ambitious and goal-oriented, you are driven to deliver strong results and exceed expectations.
