It starts with opportunity.
CAREER & PROGRESSION
We understand that everyone sees opportunity differently and we're proud that at Knauf we see opportunity in everyone.
For any stage in your career.
Finding the right opportunity is a personal journey. As we are all unique, we all look for a different ‘recipe’ of requirements from a business and within a role to see if it could be the right opportunity for us.
At Knauf, we understand that we cannot address everyone’s ‘recipe’ list individually, but we can be trustworthy, authentic, and hands-on in our approach to foster an environment where high performance thrives within a safe space.
Learning
An opportunity for continued growth.
A career at Knauf means an opportunity waiting to be taken, to shape your future, stretch your skills and build new ones.
Learning is part of life. It drives innovation, creativity, bravery, confidence and change.
Across Knauf, employees who are willing to learn, with an appetite for honing their skills and learning new ones are welcomed with open arms. Our business will only evolve if everyone believes they can do better.

PEOPLE STORIES
-
I took the opportunity to join Knauf as a Trainee Chemical Laboratory Assistant because I get to look into the most diverse product areas and research fields. My daily work is very varied and exciting and I learn so much. The team around me is so supportive. I really appreciate that Knauf has also given me opportunities for self-development, such as my part-time, business-specific English classes.

My career with USG began over 33 years ago in the Accounting team. I have since held various roles in finance and accounting, Supply Chain and now Customer Service. Today, I’m the Vice-President of Customer Service. I enjoy relating the problems we are solving today to where and how our products are made. And, I love our people! It is common to work with people who have decades of experience with USG. I’m one of them, and I believe it’s because USG is a place people feel respected, valued, and supported.

After 4 years, I'm still impressed by the safety culture, the great work environment and the wonderful team spirit. I've always had plenty of rich learning and development opportunities and I feel lucky to be part of Knauf R&D in APAC as it grows its strategic influence.

I’ve been with the business 10 years now and I’ve had a REALLY varied career in that time, turning a job into a career that I have absolutely loved. I’ve worked hard and that work has been recognised in the path that I’ve taken. One thing I have really learnt is that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
