Bilfinger

Lean@Bilfinger: Looking back to when the 6th Lean Expert training wave stopped off in Poland 🚩 As #efficiency plays a key role in our group strategy at Bilfinger, we regularly train colleagues from our different regions worldwide to become #LeanExperts. 🎓 During their comprehensive 16-week training, they pass through several Bilfinger sites and complete various modules, teaching them the methods and measures to make company processes along the whole value chain more #efficient. Our 13 soon-to-be Lean Experts recently visited our Bilfinger site in Krapkowice, Poland. The agenda for the second module included moderation techniques and train-the-trainer concepts – to provide our Lean Experts with the ability to later pass on their knowledge onto their colleagues. 💡🗨 With Jaromir Kriz, President E&M Eastern Europe, and Michał Lewicki, Vice President ISP at Bilfinger E&M Eastern Europe, joining the group, the training offered the ideal opportunity for a cross-regional exchange on the importance of #lean processes within our company. 📷 In our group photo from left to right: Jaromír Kříž, Michal Slusarski, Rafał Marczewski, Piotr Golenia, Rafał Brzozowski, Patrick Lehmann, Alexandru Lazaroiu, Colin Thomson, Nora Thysse Westad, Jan Petter Hestvik, Peter Winkler, Martin Rehmet, Tom Köhn, Halil Dinger, Alexander Wendt, Jesper van der Molen, Hari Krishnan, Per Persson, Michał Lewicki. 📍 MULTISERWIS 

Celebrating 7️⃣0️⃣ Years of CERN! 🎉  As a long-standing partner of the CERN research center, we are happy to join them in celebrating CERN's 70th anniversary: Seven decades of probing the fundamental structure of the particles that make up everything around us. 🔬✨ To this day, Bilfinger Nuclear & Energy Transition has supplied around one third of all dipole magnets at CERN.   Caroline Sagne, President Business Line Nuclear at Bilfinger, highlighted the significance of our collaboration: “We are pleased to have partnered with CERN for decades, providing expertise in superconducting magnets and expanding our capabilities in nuclear fusion, a crucial area for future energy supply. We are committed to continuing our work with CERN and other organizations, leveraging our knowledge and services, including special equipment, remote handling, and waste treatment, to further support this forward-looking sector.”   Founded in 1954, CERN has been a cornerstone of scientific discovery and international cooperation – and we are proud to be part of their journey! 🚀  📸👇The image below shows one of our superconducting magnets, which are crucial components in CERN's particle accelerators. #CERN70

"We confirmed our outlook for this year. The really important part for us is, of course, profitability, too. It is actually quite a big step from 5.1% to 6.0%. And that is based on our operational excellence, our efficiency program and a very good product mix in the third quarter," said Bilfinger Group CEO Thomas Schulz in today’s interview with CNBC's Stephen Sedgwick and Karen Tso on Bilfinger’s financial results for #Q3.   📺▶ Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/gPPwBnA3

Bilfinger is part of an exciting development on the #energy #transition journey! 👀    Aalborg Forsyning in Denmark is about to replace its coal-fired power plant with four innovative seawater heat pumps from MAN Energy Solutions. They’re the world’s largest of its kind and use #renewable energies to transform seawater from the close-by fjord into a #sustainable heat source. 🌊🌡 The heated water is later-on fed into the district heating grid, supplying households in the city. 🏠     After the integration of the first three units, Bilfinger Region DACH was now also commissioned as a solution partner for the #engineering and integration of the mechanical systems of the fourth heat pump. 🤝 The new plant is expected to be fully operational by 🗓 2027, significantly reducing Aalborg’s CO2 emissions by up to 210,000 tons annually. 🎯    👉 Eager to learn more?

If you add up sports ⚽, education 👩🏫 and social engagement 💚, the result is a German initiative called Anpfiff ins Leben (which can be translated as "Kick-off to life"). As a charitable organization, "Anpfiff ins Leben" is committed to supporting young people on their individual development and #career path. 🚀 In summer, Bilfinger became an official sponsor and partner of the charitable initiative to further underscore our dedication to supporting #YoungTalents in their career choices. 💪 This week, we kicked off our joint efforts with the first Career Orientation Day hosted at our headquarters in Mannheim, Germany. 🎉 The event invited young individuals from the initiative's network to get practical insights and learn about the various opportunities for starting their careers with us. 💬👀 Taking the first step into your career can feel challenging - but together with #AnpfiffinsLeben, we will- continue to provide perspectives and encouragement. ✨

Thanks to a unique cooperation between industry and municipal utilities, the German city of Düsseldorf is making a forward-looking move towards #sustainable district heating 🌱🔋 – and we’re excited to be partnering. 💪    Bilfinger has been contracted as comprehensive solution partner by Stadtwerke Düsseldorf AG to turn their vision of a new energy center into reality: Located on Henkel’s local production site, the energy center will process industrial waste heat from the Henkel power plant and feed it into Düsseldorf’s district heating grid. 🌡🔄 The energetic use of waste heat is highly #efficient and #sustainable, reducing the city’s annual CO2 emissions by 6,500 tons. We’re excited to be entrusted with the implementation of this pioneering plant and to be bringing in our broad #consulting, #project #management and #engineering expertise along the entire lifecycle of the project. 👉 Learn more in today’s press release: https://lnkd.in/g78dtdgC

Let's have pictures do the talking! 💬📸 In today's episode of our #SpeechlessTalking series: Our colleague Harnold Braam from Bilfinger België & Nederland. Harnold is one of the many colleagues we were happy to get aboard #TeamBilfinger, when former STORK Benelux became part of Bilfinger this year. 🎉🤗 So, of course, one of our questions to him was: "How has the transition to Bilfinger been so far?" We captured his answers for you – not in words but in photos. 👇 After all, a picture is worth 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ words, isn't it? Can you guess what Harnold is referring to, when asked about the skill that has been most valuable on his #career path? 🤔 We'd like to hear about your ideas in the comments!
