Kalundborg is a municipality in growth.
The municipality hosts one of Zealand's largest industrial concentrations outside of Copenhagen, with some of Denmark's largest energy and processing companies. Novo Nordisk has recently announced a 17 billion investment in their production facilities in Kalundborg by 2027. Recently, Chr. Hansen and AP Terminals have established themselves in Kalundborg, and more companies are on the way. We are building a groundbreaking center for the development of advanced biotech production, education, and startups, just as the world-renowned Kalundborg Symbiosis is not only an example of forward-thinking energy-efficient and sustainable production but also an expression of a very special approach to thinking about a circular economy.
The business sector demands both academics and skilled labor, and there is a need for well-qualified employees in the public sector. Here, you can not only find a good job but also build a career. The municipality has nearly 49,000 residents and is working to encourage more people to choose to live close to the beautiful nature of western Zealand.
We are 3,300 municipal employees, and we all work strategically to create more collaboration with each other and external partners - citizens, businesses, and other authorities. We do this to achieve better results and support the municipality in reaching its vision of being a good place to live, learn, work, and do business.
Kalundborg Municipality has launched a podcast series "Career in Kalundborg". In the series, a number of employees talk about how their careers have developed with a job in Kalundborg Municipality. The series is part of the municipality's efforts to recruit talented employees.
