Career in ProInvent

Mutual trust and respect are key elements of ProInvent which also gives a positive effect on the general work environment. When entering our premises and workshop you will register the enthusiasm and good energy that drives our working days. We celebrate our successes and are very proud of our team performance when we deliver a new machine to a customer.

Therefore we need creative brains that do not only have good grades and are able to pass the traditional personality- and intelligence test in a hiring procedure, but surely have some more…….

CEO Leif Dalum uses words like powers of observation, abstraction and association when he describes his expectations to his present- and future employees.

“For me, hiring is about testing people’s ability to imagine solutions. We often ask candidates to solve tasks during the interview in order to observe how they approach the task and what they think of”, says Leif Dalum.

He wants to develop a work environment where the employees have the possibility to use their creative skills. But to Leif Dalum this is not entirely about free play with technology:

“I am convinced that the best solutions are found if you are currently challenged, have a set of rules and a clear goal for the project”. I learned that from Mogens Myrup Andreasen during my time at DTU and IPU. The latest research results, led by Janina Marguc from Amsterdam University, show that training, rules and objectives, create the most innovative solutions”, he explains.

Without being able to reveal the names of the two other major customers Leif Dalum and his senior partner, Peter Ahlberg, give us a guided tour through the assembly workshop. The projects are under construction after being simulated in ABB’s Robot Studio where all processes can be built and tested in a full 3D world.

Sales- and Project Manager, B.Eng. (M), 35 years

My work in ProInvent consists of concept development of 3D constructions of industrial machines for various customers with their various niche products. I am lucky to have the best job in the world, owing to the fact that in ProInvent we do not develop two identical machines, so every day brings new challenges – and there is not far from thought to action. Every new task requires that we make ourselves acquainted to new technologies and that we utilize the experience we have gained from a large number of successful projects. I follow and influence the whole process closely from idea, design, purchases, assembly instructions and documentation for the commissioned machine at the customer.

Head of Assembly Department, 43 years

In ProInvent we develop unique machines with the latest modern technology. Since our customers have widely differing needs for production machines we never build the same machine twice. We never have two identical working days in our workshop and that’s what we love. We have a close co-operation and an ongoing dialogue with ProInvent’s other departments so that all comes together. We influence the design of the machines from the first line being drawn till the final design and test at the customer – either in Denmark or abroad.
