In October, the firm announced it will be creating 800 new jobs through the opening of its new Global Production and Shared Service Centre in Krakow. CH2M has been operating in Poland for nearly 20 years and employs over 300 people across its transportation, water, and industrial & advanced technology business groups. Following sustained growth, CH2M is currently working on some of Poland’s most iconic infrastructure projects including the expansion of Gdansk Deep Water Container Port. This will be CH2M’s largest center in the world and marks CH2M’s integrated approach to managing international engineering projects through work-sharing and the building of international teams to best serve our clients across the globe.
The opening of this new facility will create 800 new jobs, growing the business to over 1,100 employees in Krakow – making CH2M the largest engineering company in Poland and that part of Europe. The new jobs will be created across CH2M’s engineering divisions and provide accounting, finance, IT, HR, and procurement support to global operations.
“With this investment,” said Mark Thurston, Regional Managing Director for Europe, “we will be effectively helping develop the next generation of Polish engineers and demonstrating our long-term commitment to our Polish operations and can help expand our service provision to best serve our clients across the globe.” According to Joanna Bensz, Poland Country Manager, “CH2M has selected Krakow to base its new production center because of its strong engineering base, high-quality technical universities, and large talent pool in the business support service sector.”
