Poland has not been a low-wage country for longer time. But it is a country with many young, committed and well-educated talents. It also has plenty of potential and the best connections to neighboring countries. No wonder that Phoenix Contact E-Mobility in Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland, is fully committed to the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were to fill a position with the dream of a HR recruiter, he would be on the shortlist: Dominik Mazur is 35 years young, smart and energetic. Fit not only in English, but also an engineer specializing in automotive and robotics. “But I also have a degree in Production Management and am about to graduate with a Master of Business Administration (MBA).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But his “discoverers”, Michael Heinemann, Ralf D\u00f6hre and Christoph Paetzold from the Phoenix Contact subsidiary E-Mobility, were not only interested in the obvious qualities of the energetic Pole. Mazur also has more than ten years of professional experience in the automotive industry. Poland has long been an important location in the global manufacturing network of automotive giants and their suppliers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was just working in Rzesz\u00f3w in another company as a production manager. One day, Christoph Paetzold was standing at my door.” Paetzold is responsible for international production at Phoenix Contact E-Mobility. He asked Mazur if he could imagine working at the new E-Mobility plant in Poland. “I wanted to decline at first, but the opportunity to help build a new plant from the beginning sounded so exciting that I thought: Why not?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because that’s exactly what they were looking for: a plant manager who would be responsible for the entire 15,000 square meter production facility in a new building and with a new team. And as quickly as possible, because Phoenix Contact E-Mobility’s ambitious plans for the future foresaw a first production start as early as 2021. The Corona situation of 2020 made the framework conditions even more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
