As part of a six-person team your skills, contributions, and personality matter. Our engineering team interacts with engineers in all disciplines worldwide at the different Wieland sites. As such, there are plenty of growth opportunities professionally – both in our recycling division and within the larger Wieland organization, financially, in skill, and in project focus – we want you to grow alongside the company.
