Working at DP CleanTech
Globally, DP has around 100 employees. In Copenhagen, we have 5 employees and are intending to grow. You will report to the Director in our Danish office (who is also the Global Head of Engineering) and your workplace will be in Herlev. In our small Danish office, we keep an open, informal, and friendly atmosphere, where we support each other. Everyday work is characterized by working closely with colleagues in our offices abroad in an equally friendly and informal environment. As a company, we use Teams extensively for everyday communication.
As a relatively small company it is easy to see the difference you bring to the projects. It also means a high degree of variation in the tasks and area of responsibility can be quite broad.
