Essential qualifications:
- Educational background as a Marine Engineer, Automation Technician or similar technical discipline
- Experience building, assembling, or troubleshooting refrigeration systems or other complex technical equipment
- Experience coordinating technical tasks or projects in a workshop, manufacturing, service, or similar environment
- Ability to read and understand electrical, thermal, and P&ID drawings
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD, PCSCHEMATIC, or similar technical drawing tools
Knowledge of flow systems, fluid dynamics, and related technical documentation would be an advantage. Experience working with colleagues across different functions and locations is also beneficial.
What You'll Get from Us
You'll help engineer a better future by contributing to solutions that make a real difference around the world.
As part of a newly established prototype team, you'll have a unique opportunity to help shape how we work and influence the setup of future prototype activities. You'll work in a practical environment where ideas quickly become physical solutions and where your technical expertise will have a visible impact on projects across Danfoss.
We'll support your career growth with mentoring, learning opportunities, and access to global career paths.
You'll have the flexibility, autonomy, and support you need to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
