A GROWING ORGANIZATION EQUALS INCREASED GLOBAL
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Cimbria has evolved over its 75 year history from its beginnings as a small family run machinery company to a worldwide turnkey and equipment solutions leader. Today, the company has offices in several locations around the world. As the brand continues to grow, as does its need to hire new employees:
Our HR department is busy focusing on talent and competence development among our workforce, retention of current employees and recruitment of prospective employees. The ERP project alone provides more than a dozen new jobs, and we are constantly expanding our production, project house, and sales capabilities, explains Stefan Koch, Senior HR Manager, AGCO Grain & Protein, EAME. He adds that Cimbria offers various international career opportunities to prospective employees.
The global operating company AGCO offers many exciting job opportunities across several countries and company divisions. These opportunities directly result from the COVID-19 pandemic, making us more aware that collaborating across countries is more manageable than we originally thought possible. It’s now simply a matter of creating a decent work-life balance for both the employee and the company to ensure maximum productivity and efficiency, either through internal or external recruitment, Koch continues.
Koch and his team have already recruited six employees for the IT project. They will soon draft a handful of specialists to ensure the project’s development runs smoothly. The project has now launched at Cimbria’s headquarters in Denmark, Thisted.
