As a team, we foster continuous learning, share expertise, and support each other’s growth to achieve our objectives. We prioritise a positive working environment with humour and strong team spirit.

 

You’ll play an important role in:

  • serving as a mechanical specialist within the area of rotating equipment (turbines, generators, pumps, etc.), utilizing your expertise and knowledge to support our bio-fired CHP plants in Denmark
  • providing service-minded technical expertise for various mechanical systems
