During the start-up and commissioning phase, you will work at our facility in Varde, Denmark, for an expected period of approximately six to twelve months. This will be a temporary assignment. After commissioning, your permanent contractual workplace will be our factory in Cuxhaven, Germany.

Among other things, you will work with:

• Responsibility for the daily technical operation of the surface treatment plant

• Participation in FAT, SAT, testing and commissioning of new equipment

• Documentation, follow-up and continuous improvements
