Jobs

Thanks to a very results oriented working method, Zwanenberg Food Group has developed to become a company of stature, operating both nationally and internationally.  Zwanenberg has production branches throughout the Netherlands and also has its own factories in the UK and US, as well as sales offices in Romania and Australia. Our company exports to hundreds of countries worldwide.

The corporate culture at Zwanenberg is characterised by a spirit of enterprise. In other words: daring to take risks, being cost conscious and above all, being willing to take responsibility. Zwanenberg has a culture in which we communicate directly with each other and are very target and results oriented. We say what we mean, and are efficient and dynamic in doing business.

Zwanenberg employees are all professionals in their own field, which enables them to constantly work towards improvements, both individually and together with colleagues. The flat organisational structure allows quick action to be taken, with proposals for improvement being approved and implemented within short periods of time.

There is a strong team spirit to work together and keep moving the organisation to a higher level. You are constantly given the opportunity to think out-of-the-box and to convert ideas into concrete action.

Zwanenberg has all kinds of personal training and development options in order to support you in the continuous improvement process.

Zwanenberg Academy

Zwanenberg has developed its own training course in cooperation with the AOC Oost in Almelo. It’s a basic course in meat technology and four follow-up courses at the Business Unit level. Employees currently working for the company, to whom this course is relevant, are given the opportunity to follow this basic course. Future employees will also follow this internal course, so that all employees will have (basic) know-how of meat technology.

(Management) Traineeships

Zwanenberg has developed a Traineeship at both the Academic and HBO levels. This new inflow is crucial in order to guarantee new input and development within the organisation, and trainees are therefore given plenty of space to develop and to implement their proposals for improvement.

APL

The Accreditation of Prior Learning system allows Zwanenberg employees to convert know-how and experience already acquired into a nationally recognised diploma. Where development of employees is possible/necessary, a training plan is compiled to meet the individual requirements, in the form of a tailor-made training programme established in cooperation with AOC Oost in Almelo.

Management Development

It’s imperative for the organisation that employees continue to develop and constantly apply their know-how and experience at Zwanenberg. Alongside APL at the MBO (Secondary Vocational) level, Zwanenberg has also introduced Management Development for the more senior positions.

VAPRO

Employees with sound machine know-how are essential for the continuity and quality of our production process. Zwanenberg therefore stimulates employees who want to continue their development, to follow a VAPRO Basic, A or B course.

General training

Zwanenberg always offers its employees opportunities for self development, which is why they can also follow a training/course on their own initiative.
